Youth sport participation in our society is on the rise, with 90% of children taking part in some form of organized sport between the ages of 5 and 17.

My central concept is population genetics in which populations are compared among each other to identify patterns or possible causes of a particular phenomenon. Numerous research studies have been conducted to study specific popul ations for Tay-Sachs, such as the Ashkenazi Jewish population and the Indian communit y. In my study, I intend to compare and contrast …
