See genetic material with your own eyes, as you isolate the DNA from a tomato in a test tube. Learn about how traits are passed down from parents to children and how dominant and recessive genes and play inheritance games to determine how traits will be expressed.
Learn about the biology of reproduction, the components of cells, and how chromosomes are combined and copied. With this set, Assemble a model to see the elegant double-stranded helical structure of DNA.
Analyse DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime! Breed your own bacteria colony to experiment with survival of the fittest. Read about how mutation affects genes and how scientists clone plants and animals.
