A simple essay about hypertension.

Hi, I post assignment requirement below, and I wanna just discuss hypertension in this essay, it’s not necessary to be so great, just a quick, simple essay with everything needed! Thank you!

Topic

The requirement for this assignment will consist of a critical review describing the topic of choice and its implications for the field of biological anthropology and/or how it impacts other aspects of society.

One major aspect of biological anthropology is genetic variation among different ethnic populations. As such, different ethnic groups face different health problems in response to genetic make-up as well as lifestyle. The conditions proposed below can be explained using Mendelian or post-Mendelian genetic rules of transmission (see Mendelian and post-Mendelian disorders in Stanford et al.)

This research paper has to include quantitative and analytical reasoning techniques.

1-Select one of the conditions listed below:

  • Tay-Sachs disease
  • Sickle cell disease
  • Albinism
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Huntington disease

2-Include in your essay the following information:

  • Describe the condition (must be hereditary)
  • What kind of condition is it (chromosomal either autosome or on sex chromosome)?
  • How is this condition transmitted?
  • Is this condition Mendelian or post-Mendelian? Explain
  • What sector of the population is more commonly affected? (Illustrate with quantitative data) Why?
  • Mention some proposed cures.
  • What are the implications of Mendelian/Post-Mendelian genetics?

3-Writing Guidelines

  • Minimum of 750 words
  • Double spaced
  • Name, course title, in upper right corner
  • Title (no title page)
  • Topic sentence should be stated at the end of the first paragraph
  • No quotes or cut and paste. Use citations when paraphrasing other people’s work. Plagiarism is not tolerated.
  • Use at least three citations. Citations should follow APA format. Use peer reviewed journals only. Additional web sources can be used (in addition to the three journal sources). Only recognized academic institutions may be used for web citations (e.g. Smithsonian Institution, AAAS, PBS, Nova).
  • No hard copy is necessary. Submit your work through Canvas which has a “turnitin” component that assesses your paper’s original work. I specifically look at the matching sources indicated by “turnitin” for your grade.
