Description
This product is all you need for a demonstration of genetics and heredity. These strips can be used to help determine if a person is a ‘supertester’ and can be used to effectively demonstrate the effects of heredity on taste. Use these strips to determine genotype and phenotype, and use the control (untreated paper) as a placebo to add validity to your experiment. The set includes one vial of each of the following: PTC (pheylthiocarbamide), sodium benzoate, thiourea, and control paper and also includes instructions for a lab experiment. Each vial contains 100 paper strips. The set also includes a reproducible family pedigree chart and teacher’s instructions. Replacement vials can be ordered separately.
Features
- 4 vials with 100 papers
- Test the genetically-determined taste response of students and families
- PTC only has a taste to 7 out of 10 people and different genes determine if you can taste sodium benzoate. If it tastes salty, bitter, or sweet to you, then you have the dominant gene (S-). If you don't taste anything, you are recessive (ss).
- Thiourea may have taste if you can taste PTC
- Perfect for a demonstration of genetics, heredity, and taste testing
