Background Information
In this week's first activity, we will be completing our understanding of the way in which scientists manipulate DNA Set 1: Virtual Lab Activities: Follow this link and take notes as you click through the activity.
Resource:
Recombinant DNA Technology
To fully understand how scientists can cut apart and put together (re-combine = recombinant) pieces of DNA from two different species of organisms (let's say the firefly and the fruit fly), please go through this tutorial and take some notes.
Gel Electrophoresis
HHMI BioInteractive Virtual LaboratoryIn this week's second activity, we will be completing our understanding of the way in which DNA can be manipulated to transfer the glow of a firefly into a common fruit fly.
- Click on the link below.
- Read the introduction and then click to enter the lab.
- Follow all the directions you find there until you complete the exercise.
