Lesson 8: Biotechnology
Duration of Days: 3
Lesson Objective
Explain the principles and applications of common biotechnology techniques used to analyze and manipulate DNA and RNA.
How does Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) mimic and accelerate the natural process of cellular DNA replication inside a test tube?
How can gel electrophoresis be used to separate DNA fragments, and what properties of DNA allow this separation to occur?
6.8- Biotechnology
Introduce common laboratory techniques used to isolate, amplify, and analyze DNA sequences. Students will learn the theory behind these tools, which allows them to interpret real experimental data from forensics, paternity testing, and genetic engineering.
