TOR MENTORING PROGRAM
The Third Order Research (TOR) Mentoring Program was designed to enable the Juniors to link up with the seniors and share their experiences and knowledge gained from their respective STR classes.
The Juniors will experience giving a poster presentation to the seniods, while the seniors will have to analyze and evaluate the presentation, as well as the project. Together, the TOR Mentors and the TOR Mentees would examine the project proposal presented, and assess how the basic principles of research design are applied. Suggestions should be made by the Mentors, and shared with the Mentees.
The Seniors should explain their project to the Juniors, and share their experiences to the Juniors as well.
--Requirements here are for the seniors only.

Guide Questions
Chapter 1: Passing On Your DNA
1. Why is sexual reproduction more advantageous than cloning?
Chapter 2: The Egg’s Journey
2. Describe the path the egg takes after being released from the ovary.
3. The video states that an egg will survive only a few hours if not fertilized.

How does that fact influence the most fertile time when couples are attempting to avoid pregnancy using the rhythm method?

4. What kind of obstacles will a sperm encounter once it enters the female?
5. Where in the female reproductive tract does fertilization of the egg occur?

7. How do identical twins form?
8. How does the blastocyst prevent the mother’s immune system from destroying the developing embryo?
Chapter 5: The Embryo Takes Shape
9. Describe the three layers that develop and include what parts of the body those cell layers will become.
10. How are genes turned on?
Chapter 6: Messages in the Genes
11. Where is the SRY gene found? What does it do? When does it function?
12. How do fingers (and toes) become separated from each other in the developing fetus?
Chapter 7: Feeding the Growing Fetus
