Students learn about the cloning process by watching an animation and reading a tutorial.

By looking at the history of genetic engineering, this site hopes to show where eugenics has gone wrong and where we have an opportunity to make it right.

Learners explore the Biochemistry topic of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). Topics examined are DNA replication, cloning, and fingerprinting. The resource consists of articles and animations and culminating questions.

Learn about restriction digestion, where the result has sticky ends and blunt ends. Also find out about ligation reactions.

An overview of what biotechnology is including DNA technology. Also explore ethical questions in biotechnology.

Simplified and irreverent explanation of how Dolly was cloned. Includes a simple timeline of cloning technology. Some good information behind the humor.

Explanation of how genetic engineering works. Analogy with molecular scissors cutting a "sentence" of DNA. Has nice animations.

Learn about the transfer of plasmid DNA into bacteria. Also find out how bacteria are selected, and how proteins are produced and purified.

Worldwide, millions of people are infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the world is in need of a resourceful and inexpensive vaccine. In this case study you will learn how to generate a plant that produces a hepatits B protein...

Explains basic genetics concepts, including genes, DNA, chromosomes, sex chromosomes, how traits are inherited, genetic variation, cloning, and stem cells.

This website offers a clear definition of the science of Genetics, highlighting DNA and genes. There is a neat, easy-to-understand animated tour of the basics and an opportunity to go inside an animated cell. Student can build a DNA...

This article provides a discussion of DNA and how it replicates. Includes a chromosome map of a human male, a close-up of chromosomes just before cell division and a close up of a DNA molecule.

This site is a must see for any lesson or unit on biotechnology! It is a companion to the PBS video "Bloodlines: Technology Hits Home," although it can certainly be used without the video. It's a fantastic site that will challenge...

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.

Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned with DNA from an adult cell, is the subject of this interactive OLogy card. Flip the card to find questions and answers, fast facts, and other bite-size pieces of information that focus your...

This unit discusses the following topics: cloning, transgenic, gene therapy, genetic code, human genome and DNA replication. It contains 19 interactive activities.

At this site from PBS you can challenge yourself with this quiz to see if you know what is true and what is false in genetic and reproductive technology. You'll be surprised by some of the things that we are currently able to do with...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes some biotechnology methods.

Bacteria reproduce asexually. This means that, when a bacteria cell splits, both halves of the split are identical -- they contain exactly the same DNA. The offspring is a clone of the parent.

Thanks to today's technology we can cure or alleviate many illnesses. In this unit you will broaden your knowledge about biotechnology. It contains 13 interactive activities.

This is a great unit on human genetics. It contains 17 interactive activities.
