Popis

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) appears every day in our mouth. Really! DNA is a part of the food we eat.

It doesn't matter whether you like a breaded steak, tofu, rice, noodles, apples or chocolate – DNA is inside everything. Our food is originally from plants, animals and mushrooms, in other words, organisms formed by cells. In the nuclei of cells we find the genetic material – DNA, where the genes are.

Aim of the course:

• Why children have similar traits as their parents?
• What substance is responsible for our characteristic traits?
• Where is our genetic material located?
• All organisms contain DNA!
• What is the genetic code? (Do not get too much into the chemical details!)
• How can we isolate DNA from cells?

Practical activities:

• Isolation of DNA from fruits and vegetables
• Writing and deciphering a secret message using the genetic code
• Folding a DNA model
• Determining dominant and recessive traits

This course takes 2 hours.

Minimal number of participants is 12 scholars, maximal number is 30 scholars.
