Classroom Kit – The Secret of the Invisible DNA: A Genetics Exploration – For 10 Gels/10 Lab Groups

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
NGSS-aligned with MS-LS1-A & LS3.A.

Explore genetics with our “out of this world” experiment! In this lesson, we explore how DNA technology can be used to explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype using one of two exciting scenarios (medical diagnostics or alien genetics). Fluorescent dyes simulate DNA fragments, eliminating post-electrophoresis staining and saving you valuable classroom time!
