Biological Inheritance & Genetic Engineering

See genetic material with your own eyes as you isolate the DNA from a tomato in a test tube.  Investigate inheritance and learn how traits are passed down from parents to children. Learn about 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. Assemble a model to see the elegant double-stranded helical structure of DNA.  Then crack the genetic code and find out how the different parts, called nucleotides, fit together to compose it.  Read about how scientists use DNA sequencing to reveal the order of nucleotides in DNA.

Comments
Truly, it is an exciting way to explore and understand Biology in a different point of view.

This educational Kit allows Your Child to learn Biology in a more fun and out of the Lab means.    where Thames & Kosmos hope to stimulate the growing interest of a Child to this field of Science.

I do believe, this kit might just one day inspire Your Child in this field of Science for the good of man kind.
