Research inheritance by comparing student's facial features with the facial features of their parents.
R
Use an online bioinformatics database to find out which animals currently have genome projects, which projects are complete, and which projects are still in progress. R Find out how big the genomes of different organisms are and determine which organisms have the largest and smallest genomes. R Interdisciplinary Topic: DNA |

Use pedigree analysis to determine how several human physical traits are inherited.
R
Research genetics and genetic engineering R R S Investigate whether the shape of radishes is determined entirely by genetics or if it can be influenced by factors in the environment. R R Do twins have identical or similar fingerprints? R R S Research genetics and the Human Genome Project (HGP), their key factors and individuals involved in their development. R S Are fingerprint patterns hereditary? R S Is there a correlation between telomere length and aging? R R Verify Gregor Mendel’s theory R S Determine if by crossing two totally different breeds of chicken, a Barred Plymouth Rock cock and a White Aracauna rumpless (no tail) female, the offspring would have the dominant traits of laying blue-green eggs, growing barred feathers, and developing a tail. R A molecular, chemical and genetic assessment on the diversity of 16 faba bean lines. S Interdisciplinary Topic: DNA |

Use a computer program on the Web to compare a DNA sequence from several human genes with the corresponding genes in other animals. This will allow us to infer how closely related we are to those animals.
R
Compare a protein's amino acid sequence in a couple of animals to infer how closely related they are to one another. R Criminal Chromosomes (XYY Syndrome) R S Analysis of Low Temperature Regulated Genes in Wheat R S A Screen for Mutants in Drosophila melanogaster Affecting Triglyceride Levels R Identify a family tree through the chromosome 16 Alu allele of each member and understand the mechanism that passes on the gene. R R Explore your own genetic journey R R Human genetics: a worldwide search for the dominant trait R R Repeat Griffith's and Avery, MacLeod and McCarty's experiments - demonstrate that DNA is the “transforming factor” R Repeat Gregor Mendel’s Pea plant experiment R A global picture of differentially expressed transcripts in winter and spring wheat during cold acclimation R S Quantifying Genetic Similarity in Relation to Geographic Distance R R A Study on the Molecular Evolution of Voltage-Sensitive Ion Channel Genes R R PTT Influence on Genetic Change of Human Fibroblasts and Prokaryotes Exposed to UV Light R Is Genetic Transformation of the pGLO Gene Possible Between any Species of Monera? R Transposon Tn5398 of Clostridium Difficile (DNA sequences) S Pharmacogenomics - the new pharmaceutical industry R S The case of genetic improvement and erosion in Canadian spring wheat 1841-1998 R S How age, gender, and educational level affect knowledge of genetics? R A taxonomic reassessment of the orders ectocarpales and scytosiphonales based on ribosomal small subunit DNA sequences R Interdisciplinary Topic: DNA |
