INVESTIGATION 1
Artificial Selection
For 10 Groups. Students will perform artificial selection on a population of Quick Plant™, and identify traits that vary in the population. Then they will perform artificial selection by cross-pollinating only selected plants and observe the trait differences between the two populations to learn how selection works.
30 min. lab periods over the course of 5-7 weeks.
Storage: Room Temperature. CLICK HERE For Experiment #AP01 Components and Requirements.
Cat. #AP02 INVESTIGATION 2 Mathematical Modeling: Hardy-Weinberg
For 10 Groups. The application of the Hardy-Weinberg law of genetic equilibrium demonstrates that mutations, genetic drift and natural selection have a dramatic effect on gene frequency in a population. Using computer and Internet access, students will explore how a hypothetical gene pool changes from one generation to the next.
INVESTIGATION 2 ALTERNATIVE
Requires 2 hours.
Cat. #345 Exploring the Genetics of Taste: SNP Analysis of the PTC Gene Using PCR
Storage: Room Temperature. CLICK HERE For Experiment #AP02 Components and Requirements.
Cat. #AP03 INVESTIGATION 3 Comparing DNA Sequences to Understand Evolutionary Relationships with BLAST
For 10 Groups. In this experiment, several genes will be submitted to an internet database to identify and compare the genes. Students will then use this information to construct a cladogram - a phylogenetic tree representing evolutionary relatedness of species.
Requires 45 min.
