Part I
I’m the FMR1 Gene in Jane, my job is to create make a vital protein for brain development, so I thought, “maybe if there’s more of me, her offspring will be smarter…” and so I began making clones of myself, usually there’s already at most 50 more of me but, I want to see what happens if there’s even than that. *time lapse to once I’ve built 200 clones* whew, finally done, I’ve now built four times the amount there usually is of me, hey wait, Jane, where are we going? *time lapse to Jane’s son, Micheal being born* Now we’re all in Jane’s son, Michael, and in celebration, I’m going to build one, final, clone. Okay, now I’ve built him, and- *power cutting out noise* uh, what just happened? nothing’s working, I’ve broken my workplace! Now I can’t make any more proteins at all!
Welp, I’ve messed up. In wanting to increase the intellect of my host, I’ve only caused them to have intellectual disabilities, as well as behavioral and learning challenges, in other words, I’ve caused the opposite of the outcome I wanted. Apparently I’ve also caused some physical characteristics as well but, I’m a gene! how am I going to be able to tell?! Sadly there is no way to entirely fix the mess I’ve made, but the good news is that there’s treatment to help Michael as well as I know what I’ve done won’t be fatal.
Years have gone by since my mistake and Michael has not only gotten treatment for it but as well as help with his problems. He’s living a happy life now with his wife and son, who thankfully, didn’t get his father’s condition. Yet, even still, even though he’s gotten past Fragile X Syndrome, the name of all the problems I’ve caused, I regret every part of it.
Part II
- Ask
- What is Fragile X Syndrome?
- Is Fagile X Syndrome cureable?
- what causes Fragile X Syndrome?
- Aquire, I got my sources from Google
- Analyze
- what I did was I first found a site by asking one of my questions then I looked for the answers for the other questions on the same site, and if I didn’t then I would look it up. using this strategy I only needed to get answers from these two sites.
- With the sites I used I shouldn’t need to, seeing as how they’re both organizations on Fragile X Syndrome. As for siting, they’re right above this sentence.
- Assess
- I think I did very well, could of used a different search engine though, that kind of slipped my mind. Nothing went wrong which is good news, but as I said I should of used two different digital tools. One of my mistakes was that I got the due date wrong, I thought this was due on the 17th so I got a little overwhelmed when I realized it wasn’t the 17th.
