Instructions:
Create an infographic* that illustrates the genetics, inheritance, phenotypic expression patterns, and
evolution of a heritable human trait:. Make sure to address all of the following rubric prompts:
*Infographics can be created using a Microsoft Word template, a pdf template, one of the adobe
creative cloud programs or one of the many infographic templates that you can find online (google
infographic template).
**Remember to phrase ideas in your own words to avoid plagiarism and demonstrate your
understanding of the topic.
Unit Project 2 Rubric: make sure to address all of the following points clearly and in detail.

i. Depict and describe a heritable human trait that has changed as the result of evolution. 2 pts
_____
ii. Illustrate the phenotype of your heritable trait and any variation that exists for this phenotype in a hypothetical original population. 4 pts _____
iii. Depict how many genes (this could be an estimate if it is likely to be a large number), and, for at least one of these genes, how many different alleles, are known to influence the phenotype of
your trait? 3 pts _____
iv. Depict what is known about these genes and these alleles. 4 pts _____
v. Depict the point in the lifespan and in what part of the body these genes are expressed? 3 pts
_____
vi. Depict how this trait has changed over time as the result of evolution and identify which forcesof evolution were responsible for these changes (genetic drift, natural selection, and/or gene flow) 3 pts _____
vii. Cite scholarly and course-related sources within the text (author, date) and at the end of the
document in a reference section/bibliography (APA format). 3 pts _____
viii. Project does a good job of synthesizing relevant content from the class and outside sources. It is detailed, uses correct scientific terminology, and demonstrates the authors knowledge and
comprehension of the material. 5 pts ______
ix. Project includes a cover letter that describes how you modified and improved on your rough
draft in light of feedback from peer reviews from your classmates (and/or your TA, instructor,
friends, family, the writing center, etc.). 3 pts ______
