Genetics and DNA Studies Classroom Kits
Edvotek™ Do Onions, Strawberries and Bananas Have DNA?
Students will participate in extracting DNA from fresh onion tissue.
EDVOTEK™ Restriction Enzyme Cleavage of Plasmid and Lambda DNA with SYBR™ Safe
In this Restriction Enzyme Cleavage of Plasmid and Lambda DNA with SYBR™ Safe kit, plasmid and lambda DNA are pre-digested with restriction enzymes - endonucleases that recognize and cut double-stranded DNA within or near defined base sequences.
Edvotek™ Tick Talk: Tick-Borne Disease Diagnostics
In Tick Talk, students work to identify several tick species using macroscopic characteristics. Once the species is identified, students will extract DNA from the simulated tick species. Finally, a PCR analysis determines what tick-borne diseases are present in this particular tick population.
Innovating Science™ Individual Instruction: Introduction To Mendelian Genetics
In this activity, students can simulate Mendel's work and determine patterns of inheritance using special chips and Innovating Science's exclusive 'double dice.'
