Title Page
While review papers do not typically have very long titles, they do need informative titles.
The title should help the reader to understand the main conclusion of your paper.
Make the title concise but be sure to include 3-4 key words.
Include your name, your instructor’s name, and the due date
Introduction
Be sure to set up the importance of the study question.
Give the reader the necessary background to prepare them for the study question. Do not include very general information, be specific to the purpose of your review.
End the introduction with the study research question, study approach, and thesis statement. For example:
In this review, the efficacy of capsaicin in the treatment of cancer cells is investigated through in vivo studies evaluating tumor growth, metastasis rates, and patient mortality. This evaluation demonstrated that while capsaicin has effects on these parameters, the doses required limit it’s utility as a clinical therapy.
Analysis
This section should be around 50-60% of your paper (At least two pages)
I am looking for at least three primary papers that you will analyze in this short paper. Longer review papers will compare more studies.
Every study you present should have data you use to address the study question.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART – You need your analysis in this section. Compare and contrast the studies. What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do the conclusions of these studies agree or disagree with each other?
Be sure to create a clear narrative in the analysis section
I present an example below, with just blank variable names, but I hope you can get the idea.
Smith and Jones (2015) did not consider the effects of *variable 1* or *variable 2* on cell apoptosis. A follow up study by Smith and colleagues (2016) addressed one weakness in the first study by altering their experimental design to include mRNA and protein expression of *gene name* which accounted for *variable 1*.
You could then go on to talk about what the second study found and how considering *variable 1* altered the interpretation of the first studies results.
This approach not only allows transition between the studies, it also allows you to include the strengths and weakness of the studies and to compare and contrast the studies.
You don’t have to use the above approach, but I hope it give you some ideas on how you could set up your analysis.
You may also include a novel figure/graph/table that you create from the data in the primary literature to get the very best score possible on this section.
Perhaps all three of your studies looked at % cell death under different circumstances (such as pH and temperature). You could create a graph with the data from the different studies all on one graph where you put the variable (pH and temperature) on the x-axis and then % cell death on the y-axis. Then you could then address whether pH or temperature had a greater impact on cell death using the graph to answer your question.
Figures ( other than Graphical Abstract)
Original Figures are an optional element as part of the Body of the Paper
If Included Figures should be original (created by you) and NOT just copied and pasted from your source papers.
Original figures should summarize and synthesize data from multiple papers.
The figure should include proper references of where the data came from, and a good figure legend.
The figure needs to be discussed in the text of your paper- Don’t just dump it in, and DON’T just include one throw away line about see Figure 1. What conclusion do you want the reader to come to from the figure? It may be a summary of data, a summary of experimental variables tested or conditions, species used, etc. So think about if you can use a figure to really hammer home your point!
Conclusions
Summarize what you have found and frame it in the context of answering the research question and thesis statement. Put your own spin on the “answer” to your question. Make judgement calls, if you are comparing how two drugs treat a certain disease, then which one do you think is the better one? Support your conclusion with the papers you reviewed.
What kinds of questions are still out there to be answered? What kinds of weaknesses are present in the body of literature addressing the question? Do you have suggestions for future studies?
References
You must have both in-text citations and a reference section.
Use Numeric in text References and follow ASM formatting.

Reflection Questions
1. Observe each sample for coagulation. Based on what you see…
a. What blood type does Individual #1 have? What is/are the possible genotype(s)
for Individual #1?
b. What blood type does Individual #2 have? What is/are the possible genotype(s)
for Individual #2?
c. What blood type does Individual #3 have? What is/are the possible genotype(s)
for Individual #3?
2. Suppose that the three samples are from two parents and their child.
a. Which individuals are the parents? Which individual is the child? How do you
know?
b. What genotype must each individual have for this scenario to be possible?
c. Draw a Punnett square using the parents’ genotypes. Circle the genotype that
belongs to the child that you have blood typed.
d. What is the percent chance that these two parents would have a child with this
blood type?
3. There is one blood type not represented in these samples.
a. What blood type is it?
b. What would you predict would happen if you added Anti-A serum to this type of
blood?
c. What would you predict would happen if you added Anti-B serum to this type of
blood?
d. Why is the genotype that codes for this blood type considered “codominant”?
Type O blood produces both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it will not coagulate with Anti-A or Anti-B Serum.

Questions for group discussion:
Draw the cell on the right (note that the letters indicate the gene and alleles present in each chromosome, show those letters on every drawing) as it goes from the G1 phase, to the S phase, G2 and then every phase in meiosis. Indicate the main things that happen to its chromosomes at each stage (label: sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, Meiosis I, Meiosis II, identify which cells are haploid and which are diploid). Draw it in paper and upload a photo or scan, post it as an image not as a file to the discussion post (use the image icon to upload).

Based on the diagram you drew above: A) Which events are unique to meiosis. B) The main purpose of sexual reproduction is to produce genetic variation in the offspring. Explain at least 3 ways in which meiosis promotes genetic variation. C) Explain which events in meiosis are responsible for the principle on segregation and which events are responsible for the principle of independent assortment.
Given what you have learned about the principle of independent assortment and how meiosis induces variation in the genetic composition of gametes, discuss the following: Some plants can reproduce asexually (by mitosis they produce structures that can break apart from the parent plant and sprout as an independent plant with the same genetic composition as the parent plant) and sexually (by meiosis, ultimately producing male and female gametes). However, many plants can do self-fertilization (male and female gametes from the same parent plant fertilize to form a zygote). Do you think that the offspring created through self-fertilization are genetic clones of the parent, just as it occurs during asexual reproduction? Explain your choice.
A) When predicting the phenotype of the offspring from a dihybrid cross, why is it so important that each gene is located in a different chromosome? B) You crossed a tall plant that produces purple flowers with a short plant that also produces purple flowers. Assume tall and purple flower are dominant traits. The 2165 offspring were: 100% tall plants, ¾ of the plants produced purple flowers and the remaining 1/4 of the plants produced white flowers. What were the possible genotypes of the parents?


For the pedigree on the right, individuals affected with the genetic condition are indicated by the shaded symbols. A) Based on this pedigree, what type of inheritance does this genetic condition have (dominant, recessive, sex-linked)? Explain. B) What is the genotype of the parents? C) What makes an allele dominant or recessive? image link
Mendel was very lucky to study traits that follow simple hereditary rules. We now know that there are multiple factors that can interfere with the expected Mendelian ratios. A) Explain 3 genetic mechanisms that can prevent Mendel’s results from being observed and B) give an example of each.
How to post images. Here are some instructions on how to upload images on Canvas:

I currently have a proposal with corrections on it.I will have files attached with the corrections from my professor

I currently have a propsal with corrections on it. I will have files attached with the corrections from my professor as well as research I’ve found so far. There is a guide I will post as well where he has guidelines on what he wants. Most importantly, I need additional primary research to be found. 8 minimum research papers to cite from and a minimum of 25 citations in the references page. Footnotes are required for citations, so reference within the papers according to the citations found in the references page. Please correct my mistakes in the corrected paper, answering the questions the professor requested in the paper. For example, “Why did you choose this topic?”, “Why should someone read your essay?”, “What is the evolutionary relevance to your topic?”.
I will also provide a sample paper along with a research article that was only possible to access via my college credentials. This is for your convenience and I also have links within my proposal of articles you could use for the paper. Primary and Secondary resources are welcome, again, 8 minimum primary resources are required.
If there are any questions, feel free to message me and I will gladly provide the information needed. Thank you and all the best!
