The museum is scheduling a speech at the grand opening for a group of high school students in attendance and wants you to write it.

-Discuss factors that lead to genetic variations in a population by using the Hardy-Weinberg Law that describes allele frequencies in a population.

-Explain how animal behaviors, including human behaviors, are governed by genetic inheritance.

-Explain how the laboratory mouse has become a valuable model organism for the study of development and genetics.

-What other animal models are used?

-What contribution(s) has research using Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster made in the study of animal behavior and population genetics?

-Elaborate on the future of human disease diagnosis using the data from the Human Genome Project.

-Provide sufficient examples to make the speech relevant to high school students.
