Unit outcomes addressed in this activity:  Describe the characteristics of a prokaryotic genome.  Explain the principle of genetic engineering and their applications.  Select appropriate methods to study microorganisms.  Analyze the role of microbes in human disease and public health. Course outcome practiced with this Assignment: HS320-4: Discuss principles of microbial genetics in health science. Instructions  Prepare an outline  The outline must contain the following: 1. Title of the paper 2. Reason why you chose this pathogen 3. Three (3) main ideas/points that will be discussed (you must include importance of plasmids in bacterial genetics and in genetic engineering) Requirements   The viewpoint and purpose of this Assignment should be clearly established and sustained.  Assignment should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.).  Your writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful.  Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics.

Using the topic from the above outline:
