Classical Genetics: A set of slides and animations describing inheritance and molecular genetics.

Record: 1000
National Human Genome Research Institute. This is a major site focused on the Human Genome Project. Searches for further info can be conducted and other background info can be gathered. planning research background info. Index Page.

Record: 1001
Cell Division--Genetic Consequences . This site displays mitosis stages in the whitefish. Captions help explain the slides. In addition to this there are numerous questions and other supports explaining mitosis and meiosis

Record: 1067
The Central Dogma of Biochemistry is a key concept in the 12 Bio Course. This acts as an excellent animation that helps clarify exactly how the DNA within the chromosomes are transcribed and translated to produce proteins.

Record: 1071
Cloning. This is an interactive lesson that details all the steps required of a modern cloning experiment. It covers information about gene libraries resistance genes bacterial and viral plasmids DNA digestion Ligation and transformation. It is not a dry lab however. But still acts as an excellent vehicle to introduce this concept. The language is geared towards a university level student so caution should be taken before using this for college or workplace students.

Record: 1073
DNA Replication. This is an interactive lesson complete with self assessed questions that illustrates the process of DNA replication. It includes info about semi vs conservative replication replication forks leading and lagging strand synthesis.

Record: 1084
Tools of Molecular Biology. Restriction Digest and Gel Electrophoresis. This is an excellent tool that can be used in several ways. If you wish to demonstrate how DNA is separated using electrophoresis equipment this interactive animation does a pretty effective job. It demonstrates the digestion of DNA using three different restriction enzymes. Great for genetic engineering

Record: 1085
PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction. This site acts as an excellent vehicle for students to research information about this biotech technology. It is an interactive animation of the process

Record: 1089
The ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) assay was developed in 1971. It is easily the most popular laboratory test in the work today - millions of these assays are performed in labs worldwide each year. This is an excellent alternative dry lab for the homeostasis unit. Students will gather a better understanding of the kidney.

Record: 1096
NOVA Online: Create A DNA Fingerprint. A dry lab to analyse a DNA fingerprint.

Record: 1118
The Access Excellence Graphics Gallery is a set of detailed labeled diagrams relating to different aspects of biotechnology. These are excellent as handouts for students or for making overhead transparencies. Index Page.

Record: 1128
DNA EXTRACTION EXPERIMENT. This is a worksheet for the wet lab to isolate DNA from an onion. Answers to questions can be eliminated.

Record: 1164
PBS Engineer a Crop. For teachers wishing to brush up on their own knowledge on the latest issues surrounding biotechnology this is an excellent site. There are also virtual simulations where students can modify their own plants creating GM plants and look at the issues swirling around them. Great site
Record: 1165
Cell Biology and Cancer. This is a very exhaustive lesson plan that covers concepts relating cellular biology and cancer. It includes: 1. The Faces of Cancer Brief biographies demonstrate the diversity of cancer. 2. Cancer and the Cell Cycle Video animations depict cell cycle regulation; disruptions result in cancer. 3. Cancer as a Multistep Process CD-ROM -based simulations test several hypotheses about cancer development. 4. Evaluating Claims About Cancer Apply a model system to test media claims. 5. Acting on Information About Cancer Role-playing as federal legislators support or oppose a proposed statute on cancer.

Biotechnology Australia: Interactive Index. Six small interactive programs lead students through DNA profiling using a genetic probe to identify a gene starting at the cellular level, gene splicing, steps in animal cloning and a simple zoom-in model of the cell to DNA molecule level. Very clear very easy to use. Lots of concepts covered. Site has links to "Teacher Resources" and to "Issues".

Record: 1185
Locating Genetic Information . This site launches the student on a discovery of basic principles of genetic recombinant DNA technology. Excellent as a review.

Record: 1221
Paper, Scissors, Stone and Genes. A game to examine dominance of alleles in a monohybrid cross.

Record: 1290
This site contains a concise and visual display of the Sanger Method to sequence DNA.

Record: 1291
The Medical Biochemistry Page. This site contains super links to various topics taught in the SBI4U course. Examples of topics: diabetes, glycolysis, cancer and protein synthesis. Some of the information written is at the university level.

Record: 1343
12U Genetics: A collection of expectations that students are required to know by the end of the unit. Vocabulary list and questions are included in the package.

Careers in Science: Donna Jean Hay, Horticulturalist. As a child Ms. Hay would wonder why birds and insects ate some plants' leaves and not others. She didn't understand genetic compatibility back then, and wondered if you crossed an apple with a maple tree, would you get a fruit-bearing tree that turned red in the fall? That idea made her interested in the science of horticulture and plant breeding, and fueled her desire to have a career in science. She has now developed genetic markers of a number of diseases that affect barley and oats using PCR and gel electrophoresis. By Stan Taylor First published in the June Crucible 2008

This is a review of a commercial molecular genetics kit on bacterial transformation and its use in a biology classroom. The kit allows students to insert a jellyfish gene that makes a fluorescent protein into bacterial cells. This article contains a link to an instructional PDF with safety recommendations from the manufacturer.
