2) Once they figure out their disorder, they will research symptoms, treatment, statistics, the chromosome affected, and life expectancy for the disease. 3) They will also need to find an online support group about their disorder, post a thoughtful question they have, and hopefully get a response. 4) Once they have gathered all this information, they will create some sort of visual representation and present their findings to the class. || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. ||
 * **Title**: ||< Karyotype Genetic Disorders Activity ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Biology ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 9th ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< 1.5 classes to create the project and 1/2 class to present. ||
 * **Summary:** ||< Students will work in partners and are given a karyotype. They will have to figure out what is "wrong" with the karyotype and figure out which genetic disorder results from that mutation.
