Home > Biology Lab Equipment > Inheritance and Genetic > Turning Genes On and Off Lab Investigation
The Turning Genes On and Off Lab Investigation is a hands-on molecular biology activity that lets students observe gene expression in action. Using a safe, commonly found microbe, learners can visibly track when a particular gene is switched on, since its expression is easily recognized by the production of a pigment that turns the bacteria colonies red. The activity gives students a striking, visual demonstration of gene manipulation suitable for secondary and introductory college biology courses.
Key Features
- Uses a safe, commonly found microbe for classroom-safe handling
- Gene expression is visualized through red pigment production in bacteria colonies
- Investigates and predicts the effect of temperature on gene regulation and expression
- Supports open-ended, student-designed follow-up experiments on other variables affecting gene expression
About This Product
This lab investigation is designed to help students build a working understanding of how genes are turned on and off in response to environmental conditions. By manipulating temperature and observing the resulting pigment production, students gain first-hand experience with the core concept of gene regulation. The open-ended design also allows further investigations, giving students the opportunity to design their own experiments to identify other variables that may affect gene expression, making it a flexible resource for genetics units at varying levels of depth.
