With this lab, students gain experience using agarose gel and analyzing results. Students use the results to isolate the genes from a child that were not inherited from his or her mother and determine who the father is. The students' understanding of this exercise helps them gain experience analyzing data and autoradiograms. This kit employs NGSS Life Science Disciplinary Core Ideas (LS1) and (LS3).

This kit is aligned with all published National Standards. Pre and post-laboratory assessments and vocabulary words target specific Science and Engineering Practices and Common Core standards. The teacher guide also contains specific "Did You Know" concepts that link the real world with the scientific standards explored. A student copymaster is also included.
