The Secret of the Invisible DNA: A Genetics Exploration
Explore genetics with our “out of this world” experiment! In this lesson, we explore how DNA technology can be used to explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype using one of two exciting scenarios (medical diagnostics or alien genetics). Fluorescent dyes simulate DNA fragments, eliminating post-electrophoresis staining and saving you valuable classroom time!
• Explore Mendelian inheritance and the biology behind gel electrophoresis
• Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate different sized fluorescent dye molecules
• Bands are visible under a black light, no staining necessary!
• Load, run, and analyze five simulated DNA samples and connect phenotype to genotype
