Imagine stepping into the shoes of a forensic DNA analyst, unraveling the genetic code to solve a mystery! In this hands-on lab, the students started by constructing a DNA strand based on a suspect’s genetic traits, carefully matching nitrogenous bases to bring their identity to life. But here’s the challenge—another group will receive your DNA strand and must decode it to determine who your suspect is!
Get ready to decode, analyze, and solve the mystery!
