Imagine that you are a geneticist and a government agency is sponsoring a new genetic experiment. In a short proposal define:
1. What genetic material you would use?
2. Will it be a mix of human, animal, or plant species? Or a combination of the three?
3. How do you plan for it to be used? Superior genetics? Disease control? To perform certain tasks?
4. Would it be clonable or not?

This is not a homework assignment, Reginia. I am long out of school and college. Read my profile. Get a clue.

1. I would use human genetic material. I would focus on the genes used to make elbows and knees.
2. As I said, my focus would be on humans, but if I saw a gene I like somewhere else I'd use it. I'd consult with a biologist who would tell me which animals have the best knees and elbows.
3. I would make a person who was normal in every way, but their knees wouldn't have kneecaps. Their knees would we shaped just like their elbows. To avoid being social outcasts, their knees would bend the same direction as everyone else's. The purpose is to make people more durable when walking and runnning.
4. I would make it clonable as long as I got paid some money for my invention.

this is obviously a homework assignment. go read a book and form your own thoughts. it will benefit you more in the long run.
