Exploring Electrophoresis Series - an economical way to do electrophoresis Economical - Kits in this series contain everything needed to run a gel electrophoresis lab for the whole class - just add water and batteries. Kits and reagents can be shipped and stored for short periods at room temperature. Durable and Reusable - Gel electrophoresis apparatus can be reused with the refill for the same kit or with one of the other refill kits in the series. Replacement parts are also available. Simple - Clear, beatifully illustrated instructions make electrophoresis fun and easy. Safe - Electrophoresis chambers are run at low voltage. Carbon fiber electrodes are biodegradable. Each classroom kit in the series contains: Five battery-powered gel chambers Cobs, carbon-fiber electrodes, and leads Pipetting devices Agarose and buffer DNA or dye samples Enzymes where necessary Easy-to-follow instructions

• Genetic screening of an extended family
• Classical Mendelian genetics
• Modern molecular biology
• Molecular basis of heredity
• Ethical and social implications of genetic testing

Students receive a 24-member family tree and DNA samples presumably taken from each family member. They determine the genotype of each of the relatives by cutting the DNA samples with a restriction enzyme and separating the fragments by gel electrophoresis. The genotypes revealed by the class are used to determine the pattern of inheritance of the “gene” being analyzed and to predict each person’s phenotype.

In this simulation, the teacher and students choose a fictitious phenotype to link to the gene, although the principles and issues raised would apply to real situations.
