Putting DNA to Work
Genetic Disease

Welcome to the Koshland Science Museum Genetic Disease Webquest! Have you ever wondered how someone can inherit a genetic disease, or how a DNA test works? Using this internet-based webquest activity, you will learn all about DNA and genetic diseases, including how a genetic disease causes a person to get sick, how we test for and treat a genetic disease, and how we help people to make better decisions regarding all the complicated issues involved with genetic diseases. More importantly, you will have an opportunity to play a role in a medical investigation team, where you will make some of the same discoveries that a real scientist working in genetics would make.
