Genetics and DNA Science Kit TK-663438

DESCRIPTION

Aspiring geneticists will head into the lab with this kit for an in-depth investigation of genetics (the branch of biology focused on heredity and variation in organisms), and DNA (the acid that holds the blueprints for life). Through this kit's 20 experiments, kids will:

see genetic material with their own eyes as they isolate tomato DNA in a test tube
investigate inheritance and learn how traits are passed down from parents to children
learn about dominant and recessive genes
play inheritance games to determine how traits will be expressed
learn about the biology of reproduction, the components of cells, and how chromosomes are combined and copied
assemble a DNA model to see its double-stranded helical structure
crack the genetic code and find out how nucleotides fit together to compose it
read about how scientists use DNA sequencing to reveal the order of nucleotides in DNA
analyze DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime
learn about the influential scientists, including Mendel, Watson, and Crick, who made breakthrough contributions to this field
breed their own bacteria colony to experiment with genetic engineering
read about how mutation affects genes and how scientists clone plants and animals

The full-color, 48-page manual guides every experiment.

Ages 10 and up.
