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.
