For 50 students.
This kit is a great introduction to Mendelian genetics since it's based on the transmission of a single inherited trait. Each student will determine if he can taste harmless PTC (phenythiocarbamide) in our controlled experiment. After testing family members, students will pool their data and calculate random segregation according to the Hardy-Weinberg Law. They will also construct a family tree for this single trait. Kit includes: 50 strips PTC test paper; 50 strips control test paper; 50 genealogy charts; instruction manual with MSDS.
