DNA Science/Biotechnology Summer Reading

Weston High School Summer Reading   2012-2013
DNA Science/Biotechnology 
 

Welcome to DNA Science/Biotechnology!   Click here for a fun introduction to some of the basic concepts about DNA, chromosomes, and genes that will help set the stage for much of our exciting lab work this year. Much of this may be a review for you, but I hope you enjoy it. Click through the four sections in this animated tutorial:
    • What are genes? (Part 1 Key Concepts?)
    • What are SNPs?
    • Where do your genes come from?
    • What are phenotypes?

I’m looking forward to meeting you all in the fall as we enter the brand new science building! It is going to be a fabulous place to learn and to carry out DNA lab activities!

Have a great summer break!
