Determining QuickPlant™ Genetics Using PCR 336
|
|
|
|
Your students will see for themselves the relationship between genotype and phenotype by performing PCR using DNA extracted from Edvotek® Quick-Plants™. Unlike the wild type QuickPlants™, the glabra mutant lacks trichomes (single-celled hairs) on its leaves. Using PCR, your students will compare a region of DNA that differs between the glabra mutant and the wild type plants, so they will see this variation at the DNA level.
