Biomed Academy Weekly Plans
Week 16
Monday
Objectives:
 Recognize that the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a laboratory
procedure that produces multiple copies of a specific DNA sequence.


Explain how single base pair changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) can be identified through genetic testing and often correlate to
specific diseases or traits.

Use laboratory techniques such as DNA extraction, PCR, and restriction
analysis to identify single base pair differences in DNA.

Analyze genetic testing results to predict phenotype.
Process:
MI-2.1.3. Parts 1, 2, 3 Isolation of DNA and PCR of DNA
Closure: Postlab discussion of purpose of procedures carried out today.
HW: Chapter 22 guided reading, Capstone Chapter 3.
