GENETIC ENGINEERING & TRANSFORMATION
Cat. #125 The Great Mum Mix Up: Using Biotechnology to Identify Genetically Modified Flowers
For 8 gels. Genetic engineering can be used to modify food and flower crops to introduce favorable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to differenti - ate between genetically engineered “true blue” chrysanthe- mums vs. artificially-dyed flowers. By comparing the DNA patterns, students will discover how molecular biology can be used to distinguish between the genetically modified mums and the dyed ones.
ALSO Available with SYBR® Safe DNA Stain: Cat. #125-S
Complete in 45 minutes
Storage: Room temperature stable. Storage of Ready-to-Load™ QuickStrip™ samples in the refrigerator is recommended. CLICK HERE For Experiment #125 Components and Requirements.
Cat. #962 Identification of Genetically Modified Foods Using PCR
For 10 Groups. Some foods contain raw materials from genetically modified organisms (GMO). Examples include tofu, corn flakes and corn meal. In this experiment, your students will extract DNA from food or plant material and perform PCR to determine if any GM indicator genes are present. Amplified DNA is separated and sized by agarose gel electrophoresis. Requires 1 to 3 day shipping.
Extraction 45 min. PCR Set Up 10 min. PCR 2 hrs. Electrophoresis 60 min. Staining 5 min.
Storage: Some Components Require Freezer Storage Upon Receipt. CLICK HERE For Experiment #962 Components and Requirements.
