Class Size:
8 Lab Groups

Description

The objective of this 'Finch Diversity' experiment is to investigate the genetic basis of beak size variation in Galapagos finches before and after a drought event using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.

  • Introduces PCR-RFLP analysis to analyze specific nucleotide sequences
  • Understand how electrophoresis separates differently-sized molecules
  • Perform agarose gel electrophoresis
  • Meets NGSS HS DCI LS1.A, LS3.A and LS3.B, through the discussion of the structure and function of DNA and heredity and variance of traits.
  • Group Size: For 8 Gels
  • Time Required: Complete in 45 minutes
  • Kit Includes: Instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ DNA Samples, UltraSpec-Agarose™, Electrophoresis Buffer (50X), Practice Gel Loading Solution, FlashBlue™ DNA Stain.
  • All You Need: DNA Electrophoresis, Micropipettes: 5-50 μl (Optional), White Light Box, and Microwave or Hot Plate.
  • Storage: Room Temperature Stable. Storage of Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ samples in the Refrigerator is Recommended.
