Students use real-world forensic techniques to extract DNA from their hair follicles or cheek cells, and then use PCR amplification and electrophoresis to fingerprint their own DNA at a specific genetic locus. Using their results, they test the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory within their classroom population, then go online to compare their classroom results to genetic data of populations worldwide.
Kit includes positive controls, PCR master mix, primers, extraction matrix, Fast Blast DNA stain, test tubes/holders, curriculum, and more for 32 students. PV92 PCR Kit TS (1662119EDU) and RT (1662139EDU)
