Results/Observations Genetic Disease

This lab was pretty successful looking around the room I saw that only one group had messed up, and this was due to leaving the electrophoresis machine on too long. The results of my table illustrated that everything was done properly, the control illustrated gel electrophoresis worked, the homozygous controls and heterozygous control illustrated the bands that should be seen and were easily comparable to that of mine, Saba's and Daniel's.  The results about the "disease" included the majority of the class as either carriers or diseased. I was personally lucky to be one of the few that did not have the intron, that in reality does not do a whole lot, at least that we know of. I believe this lab was done effectively and I believe reinvigorates me to hopefully take genetic tests in the future in which I could then appropriately assess my risks, and work towards overcoming/ disproving that we are predestined for anything. I hope others understand that the arguement about nature versus nurture is ridiculous, as in everything their is no black or white, we are who we are because of a complex mixture between genetic determination and the society around us including, exposures to environmental sources.
