A propos de cet article

Engage students with a genetics and PCR kit that has a direct link to a testable phenotype.

  • Fast and simple protocol for easy integration into biotechnology or forensics lessons
  • Introduce students to DNA isolation; PCR and DNA electrophoresis
  • A step beyond the standard PTC taste-paper test

Students are tested for their ability to taste Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) a substance that either tastes very bitter or is relatively tasteless depending on the genetics of the taster. Students taste a sample of PTC and extract their DNA and comparee through PCR their phenotypic result to their genotypic result.
