Sophisticated genetic testing is on the verge of making it possible to manipulate the
genes of a human fetus to determine traits such as height, weight, and body shape.
What impact, if any, would you expect from this type of designer genetics on human
evolution?
Do you believe this will have a positive, negative, or any impact on our evolution?
Keep in mind that:
Your essays should include a title page and a references page that follow APA format,
should be one full page of content (this does not include the title page, or the references page), and should be double spaced throughout with 1″ margins on all sides. Use 12 pt.
The entire essay should be written in your own words. DO NOT USE DIRECT QUOTES.
You must paraphrase and give credit to (i.e., in-text citation and reference list) the
sources you use (e.g., your textbook, the notes, a documentary, etc).
Follow APA for in-text citations and references. Failure to do that constitutes plagiarism
and will result in a grade of zero. It may also result in a referral to the Office of Student
Conduct for further action (See Sections Academic Integrity and Responses to Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, or Cheating in the syllabus). Note that in this course we will use
turnitin.com to detect plagiarism. For more information, see section “Turnitin.com” in the syllabus.
(1 full page of content). Note also that you will receive a zero if your do not turn in your
essay, use direct quotes, or there is evidence of plagiarism in your work.
