Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms. [Clarification Statement: Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.]

World Hemophilia Distribution

Name__________________________                              Section_______________________   

Purpose: This activity will compare the rates of occurrences of hemophilia throughout the world.

Materials: Chrome book, worksheet, and pencil               

Procedure:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->Proceed to the iSense website and use the address: http://isenseproject.org/projects/1406 , to load project 1406.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Use the groupings detailed in the following questions to look at the data.

Data

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->Use a pie chart and group by continent. Determine which continent has the most cases of hemophilia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Use a pie chart and group by country. Which country had the most incidents of hemophilia?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->Use a bar graph and group by continent. List the order of cases of hemophilia from least to greatest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.       <!--[endif]-->Use a bar graph and group by continent. List the order of population from least to greatest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.       <!--[endif]-->Use a scattergram with cases on the X axis and population on the Y axis. Draw a line-of-best-fit. Describe the correlation.

Analysis

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->What is the relationship between population and # of cases of hemophilia? Use the results from the data to support the answer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Explain the results of the order in # 3 and # 4.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->Use the line-of-best-fit to draw a conclusion on the per capita frequency of cases. Support the conclusion with data.
