This simple fact is what underlies the "Biotechnology Revolution," which has given scientists the ability to create new transgenic crops that are resistant to insect pests, plant viruses, or herbicides. Information about an organism based on DNA analysis Chemical reactions and pathways that are important in living organisms Modern genetic engineering techniques (such as isolating and/or manipulating DNA) Learn about and employ several fascinating real-world tools and techniques with these biotechnology science fair project ideas.

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver acrylic in black, orange, green, yellow, and blue Needles: US 3 double-pointed (see my double-pointed needle tutorial to learn how they work) The DNA model was made with two equal black twisted tubes using the right-twist variation of self-twisting tubes.

The base pairs were 9 stitches around, or 3 per needle. 6th row: 2 yellow, 3 blue, 2 yellow, 2 blue7th row: 3 yellow, 2 blue, 3 yellow, 1 blue8th row: 4 yellow, 1 blue, 4 yellow Back to the Crafts Page.

The Cookbook Translator Students "translate" a lima bean DNA extraction procedure Protein Assays: Bio Rad and Page Gels Rainbow Electrophoresis Part IV. DNA from the Beginning. DNA from the Beginning Study Guide This lesson is based on an award-winning Web site - [dnaftb.org] - an animated primer on the basics of DNA, genes and heredity. The Web site is organized around key concepts. The lesson that follows concentrates on high school level activities located under the Molecules of Genetics [dnaftb.org] section of the Web site.

The science behind each concept is explained on the site using animations, an image gallery, video interviews, problems, biographies and links. Goal: This study guide will be used to familiarize students with the Molecules of Genetics section of the [www.dnaftb.org] Web site. Level: Middle school-High school Time: Two class periods Learning Objectives: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: Give examples of one scientific discovery building on another. Summarize the sequence of discoveries that led to our current understanding of DNA. Day One Start the lesson by giving out the list of numbered questions (#15-28) provided below.
