About CBM Science Summer School Micropropagation: | DNA Necklace
DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as "code of life." The codes are unique to each living being and how they function. Students learned the basic structure and chemical make-up of the double helix molecule. The function of genes and expressed inheritance were discussed in relation to each person's physical characteristics. The class also extracted their own DNA from cheek cells to see the actual strands of DNA, which were made into necklaces.
