Product Description

This experiment introduces students to the use of DNA fingerprinting in a simulated paternity determination. A child’s DNA fingerprint is compared with his parents. The experiment does not contain human DNA. 

  • Learn genetics and molecular biology techniques by solving a hypothetical paternity case 
  • Introduce students to restriction enzymes, PCR, and electrophoresis 
  • Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate differently sized DNA molecules 
  • Load, run, analyse, and size pre-digested PCR samples to determine the biological parents of a child
