Product Details
BeginningEasy to perform; requires little or no prior knowledge.
Many students are aware of lactose intolerance, but how many actually understand what it means and how it relates to human evolution? Help your students make that connection with this exclusive and updated kit from Carolina and the DNA Learning Center (DNALC). Students review the relationship between genes and proteins, learn about enzyme functionality, and explore the relationship between lactase and human evolution. In the core activity, students create a column with immobilized lactase enzyme beads to create lactose-free milk.
