In Advance1Preparing the Envelopes for Day 1, Activity 1For Day 1, each student will need a sealed envelope labeled “MedicalRecords: Alzheimer’s Test Result.” Inside each envelope should be a slip ofpaper with his or her hypothetical test result—telling the student which twoof the alleles linked to Alzheimer’s disease (E2, E3, and E4) he or she has. Toapproximate the human population as a whole, prepare the envelopes in thefollowing ratio (numbers can be modified according to the total number ofstudents; numbers below add to up 50 total envelopes):2Number of envelopes What the slip of paper should say1 E2/E27 E2/E328 E3/E31 E2/E412 E3/E41 E4/E4Source: Based on data from Hill, J.M., Bhattacharjee, P.S., and Neumann, D.M. 2007. ApolipoproteinE alleles can contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous clinical conditions including HSV-1 cornealdisease.
