Product Information
Newly updated with the latest (2001) information from the Human Genome Project, Susan Offner has re-developed and improved this &"plain English&" map of human chromosomes that now includes newly discovered genes.
Use this human genome study kit to teach students how to identify certain gene loci and to understand how gene mutations can cause diseases like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia. It's also a perfect teaching tool for lessons on evolution and speciation, and DNA and protein synthesis.
We've included a color wallchart of 22 autosomes and the X and Y sex chromosomes, with labeled genes that code for proteins such as hormones and enzymes.
Includes: 30 notebook size maps for student use, an overhead transparency of the wallchart, Susan's overview of the Genome Project, 3 dry labs, and a detailed teacher's guide with background information, a complete explanation of the genes on each chromosome, and reproducible student worksheets. Student notebook maps may be purchased separately in packets of 30.
