This nine-page biotechnology resource contains six pages of questions regarding DNA technology. Questions cover cloning, restriction enzymes, the polymerase chain reaction, different techniques, the human genome project, and more. The...

Oncologists use DNA sequence data to identify specific cancers and offer more targeted treatments. Grasp an understanding of the complexity involved by learning how the body sequences and assembles DNA. Eager scientists explore the...

In this genetic technology instructional activity, students will answer 6 true or false statements and 4 short answer questions based on the mapping and sequencing of the human genome and the applications of the Human Genome Project.

Course identification information is included in the upper left corner as well as within the title of this activity. If you overlook or remove that information, you are left with a tremendous college biology assignment. There are only...

Thirty-five multiple-choice questions are spread out into boxes bordered with dotted lines so that they can be cut out to become game cards. Playing a game to review concepts is an effective way to learn, even if you are in college. Give...

Frederick Sanger won two Nobel prizes for protein sequencing and DNA sequencing. Young scientists learn about Dr. Sanger's research and amazing discoveries. They read an article and a biography, view videos and animations, and apply...

In this genetics activity, learners access a website to learn about how human genes mutate to cause heritable disorders such as Huntington disease. Students use the information on this website to complete 12 short answer questions.

The LBN Laboratory uses the data generated by the Human Genome Project to actually map the genes within the decoded genome.

All animals have a genome, but do they all have genome projects? Find out which animals are currently having their genomes sequenced and how much we know already by performing some simple bioinformatics data digging.

The purpose of predictive genetic screening is to learn whether an individual is at high risk of developing a heredity condition that may run in the family. This article shows you how to weigh the benefits and disadvantages of having...

In this science project, you will investigate the secrets of your distant past as revealed by your DNA. In order to obtain a sample for DNA analysis, you will scrape a soft swab inside your mouth to collect cheek cells. Based on the...

This video segment from NOVA: "Cracking the Code of Life" looks at one of the key players in the race to decode the human genome.

This interactive lab will enhance learning about DNA by virtually translating a gene.

A concise explanation of the use of DNA technologies in forensic identification from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Additional valuable resources are provided.

Students read through a complete, interactive lesson on biotechnology. An activity at the end allows students to research and present arguments for or against statements about the ethics of gene therapy and gene manipulation.

A new way of testing DNA samples uses a chip. This allows scientists to examine thousands of genes instead of just one at a time.
