3B Mitochondrial DNA Analysis Using PCR Experiment

The 3B Mitochondrial DNA Analysis Using PCR Experiment is an ideal addition for teaching or learning about DNA. Using the Nobel Prize winning technique polymerase chain reaction, students can amplify two regions of DNA from the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are ideal for genetic studies as they only inherit the maternal line and are believed to be a symbiotic relationship between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Students will find it useful for genetic and forensics testing and the study of evolution as a whole.
