Following the AP Biology exam, students visited the Makerspace to participate in one of three biotech labs exploring how to:
- Transform regular (non-harmful) bacteria into glowing bacteria by adding a gene from jellyfish.
- Use a cell-free technique to observe the transcription and translation process, which uses the information in DNA to produce proteins.
- Identify different sharks in a "mystery" using DNA fingerprinting and gel electrophoresis.
