In this activity, students investigate the phenomenon of lactase persistence by making sense of a series of data sets.

In this activity, students explore using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out butterfly genes in order to determine their function.

In this hands-on activity, students review the steps of eukaryotic gene expression and learn how this knowledge can be used to treat different genetic conditions. The activity reinforces concepts covered in the Click & Learn “Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine.”

This interactive module uses the central dogma as a model for exploring how modern molecular biology technologies can be used to treat different genetic conditions.

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

This interactive module shows how DNA sequences can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms and represent them as phylogenetic trees.
