What is genetic engineering?

Using penicillin-impregnated discs on two plates, students grow one lawn each of two common, naturally occurring pathogen bacteria.

Students use color-coded pop beads to visualize the structure of amino acid chains with this kit.

Students investigate the inheritance of the ability to taste sodium benzoate by constructing a pedigree of the ability of members of their family to taste them. Includes: 1 vial sodium benzoate, 1 vial control papers (100 papers per vial), and a family pedigree chart. *Test Paper Factoid: Taste papers can be used to demonstrate inheritance. The ability to taste PTC is a hereditary trait. 7 out of 10 people will taste it. Sodium Benzoate tastes sweet, salty, bitter or will be tasteless to different people. Thiourea tastes bitter to most but is tasteless to some!

Simulate multiple generations of Mendellian inheretance.

A basic introduction to DNA.
