Head into the lab for an in-depth investigation of genetics, the branch of
biology focused on heredity and variation in organisms, and DNA, the acid that
holds the blueprints for life. See genetic material with your own eyes as you
isolate the DNA from a tomato in a test tube. Investigate inheritance and
learn how traits are passed down from parents to children. Learn about
dominant and recessive genes and play inheritance games to determine how
traits will be expressed. Learn about the biology of reproduction, the
components of cells, and how chromosomes are combined and copied. Assemble a
model to see the elegant double-stranded helical structure of DNA. Then crack
the genetic code and find out how the different parts, called nucleotides, fit
together. Analyze DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime. Breed
your own bacteria colony to experiment with survival of the fittest. Read
about how mutation affects genes and how scientists clone plants and animals.
