I'm sure many of you gained a lot of knowledge from Mr Sanjeed, our wonderful instructor. I hope that you can remember what DNA means. He also explained to us what identical twins are.
Hmmm...well, Zi Hao and Zi Yin will tell us if they are identical twins or not. We also watched a short video on cloning. Do you remember what animal was the first successfully cloned animal and what is its name?
Then there was the fun part where we extracted the DNA from bacteria. What a pungent smell!
First we added the bacteria sample into a test-tube and then, we added the detergent to break the fats component of the bacteria cell wall. Then, we incubated the mixture into the hot water bath. After 15 mins, we removed the test-tube and addded in ethanol and voila! We get to see the DNA of the bacteria in the form of whitish suspension.
I'm sure many of you also had fun making our DNA model right?
Do you remember the pairing?
A with ______?
G with ______?
Hope everyone of you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Tell me which part of the laboratory session you find most interesting.
In the meantime, here's some snapshots of our trip. Enjoy!
