Question

Instructions for your concept map:

• Draw one square in the center of your paper with “Genetics” in it as a starting point for your concept map. Genetics is your central concept.

• Concepts are placed in Circles (see below for the list of 25 concepts that you MUST include). You will probably have a few concepts that branch off of "Genetics".

• Arrows show relationships between concepts

– Write appropriate linking words on the line above the arrow

– Every concept needs at least one arrow leading into and one arrow leading away from the concept. An arrow with correct linking words will be worth 0.5 pt (25 concepts means you should have 50 arrows, so 0.5 pt X 50 = 25 points). Linking words will most likely vary in length (1 word, 5 words, 8 words, etc...).

• The Concept Map should tell a story that makes sense. Make sure you include arrowheads on all of your arrows so we know which direction to read your linking words in.

• Make sure your concepts and linking words are legible, so we can grade your concept map.

Answer 1

Concept map is useful to design the different sub topics of a single main topic. It is useful to check out the interrelations of all sub topics.
