GENETICS, CONTINUEDHuman Karyotyping— Super Value KitLarge simulated chromosome smears let students realistically cut out chromosomes and use key characteristics to pair them. Chromosome pairing (homologous pairs) gains new meaning as students prepare human karyotypes. Six chromosome sets are provided—normal male and female, male and female with Down syndrome, person with Klinefelter syndrome and person with Turner syndrome. FB1111 I $23.00Gene Pool and Natural Selection—Super Value KitSolidify concepts about paired alleles, random chance and selection pressure in a gene pool simulation with colored pop beads representing alleles for a genetic trait in a population. Includes 1,500 pop beads and teaching strategies. Super Value Kit is completely reusable!FB1568 I $39.80Botheads Genetic Simulation—Super Value KitHow do inherited characteristics affect an organism’s physical appearance? Students select random gene cards (genotype) and apply basic genetic principles to design and color a personal “Bothead” (phenotype). Students “cross-breed” their “bot” with another to create, draw and color a “hybrid bot.” Students learn about alleles, dominant and recessive traits and effects of mutations. Super Value Kit is completely reusable!FB1745 I $33.25MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCECorn Genetics— Super Value Laboratory KitStudents count corn kernels of various phenotypes on ears of genetic corn. Based on the data and calculated predictions, students can establish the parent corn’s geno-type. Two types of F2 corn ears are provided; 8 display an expected F2 dihybrid 9:3:3:1 ratio while 8 others display a 1:1:1:1 dihybrid F2 ratio. Genetic corn ears are reusable.FB1429 I $188.65Genetic Code— Super Value KitGet students actively involved in transcription and transla-tion. Coded messages on DNA and tRNA code cards add fun to learning genetic code. Students get individual DNA-coded messages from the nucleus, leave the nucleus, travel to a ribosome and trans-late the code into a clear word message. If no mutations occur, the word message is quickly verified as correctly decoded. FB1441 I $37.00
