Mutation Story

Part 1:

Hey how’s it going, I’m chromosome 5p. See that girl over there, she has cri du chat syndrome. Cri du chat syndrome is a rare syndrome that make people make noises like a crying cat, that’s where its name comes from. See you might be wondering why a chromosome is talking to you but that’s the thing I don’t really exist. The cause of the syndrome is deletion or missing chromosome 5p which is me, so that little girl would have been “normal” if I was there. What was suppose to happen was that her dad’s sperm was suppose to have me in it but it didn’t so technically I don’t exist. Because it’s a rare condition it took a while to find out that me not being present was the problem. That girl has every other chromosome but me so it is my fault *cough* and the somewhat the dad’s *cough* that she has that syndrome. I cause that girl different symptoms such as having a small head and jaw or excessive drooling or speech delay. What I’m trying to say is don’t judge someone like her or you might as well judge me.

Part:

When I was researching Cri du Chat syndrome I was mainly looking for the physical and mental state and also how it works. Once I found these things it gave me enough information to write my story. When I was looking for that information I used a tool that Mr. Robinson showed me, I tried using the tool that allows your computer or device to read a page/website for you. I found that tool very helpful because it allowed me to listen and write down notes at the same time. Too start off this project I started by gathering the general information on Cri du Chat syndrome so that gave me time for my next step which was to make a general outline of my story. After that I gathered more detailed information, i later funneled that into only what I need, from there I began to write my story then I posted it to edublog. I tryed to use university sites and non public edited sites or sources, I wanted to assure my information was correct. Overall I am happy with my outcome and story, if I were to chane something I would have probably left more of my notes and made my story longer.
