Students examine the goals of the Human Genome Project. They research issues of the project such as scientific, potential and ethical implications of the project. In addition, they create a presentation to present their findings.

Learners explore and analyze human and animal communications and create a short film that illustrates their findings.

Students analyze different types of hemoglobin. They use the technique of agarose gel electrophoresis to separate human hemoglobin molecules according to their electrical charge, size, and/or shape. Students relate the migration of...

In this word search learning exercise, students locate words related to biology. The word list includes protists, viruses, plants, spiral, and biotechnology.

Learners see how eight pairs of triplets are equivalent to part of a gene and control a part of heredity. They comprehend how blood corpuscles manufacture normal hemoglobin. Students already comprehend that genes control the synthesis...

High schoolers read about the X and Y chromosomes in humans and complete a worksheet.

Students examine the X and Y chromosomes. In this research lesson, students use the 5E lesson model as they read articles about human chromosomes then discuss their findings and opinions.

Students explore the field of genetics. They examine four basic traits. Students demonstrate their knowledge of phenotype and genotype by charting their personal traits. Students compelte a Meiosis chart. From the chart results,...

Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological advances, scientists are now able to know the sequence of letters that makes up an...

In this project, you'll learn how to isolate DNA from onion cells, separating it from other cellular components in a manner that still preserves its structure and sequence. In the end, you'll have enough DNA to see with the unaided eye,...

Once a gene has been located and transcribed into mRNA, it must first be edited before it can be translated into a protein. This editing process is called splicing it involves removing non-coding regions called "introns", leaving only...

This site provides from the Human Genome Project provides basic information on the Human Genome Project. Among the items discussed is how genome sequencing is done, as well as information about the genome and proteome.

The human genome project was established to determine the sequence of DNA bases that are found in each human cell. Understanding what the resulting proteins do is an entirely different project. This page is about how we are trying to...

Learn about a major function of cells, protein synthesis. Find out about the process in which cells manufacture this biochemical compound.

Explains what chromosomes are, their structure, their functions within a cell, and the health impact of mutations in a gene sequence.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The DNA sequence contains the instructions to place units called amino acids into a specific order. When these amino acid are assembled in that specific order,...

The sequence of DNA that we inherit from our parents encodes directions for making our cells and giving us specific traits. Robin Ball explains how the secret lies in X chromosome inactivation.
