Testing the Role of Gene Mutations in Pancreatic Cancer
This assessment asks students to test a hypothesis about the role mutations in key genes play in the severity of pancreatic cancer. Students were presented with data on eight variables gathered from studies on this hypothesis including patient ID, sex, cancer metastasis, and the presence of a mutation in the p53 or KRAS gene. Students qre then asked to plot three predictions drawn from the hypothesis by graphing the appropriate variables for each prediction. Each graph represents a different task in the assessment.
