Description
Making Connections Between DNA and Chromosomes!
Chris Chou, Longmont High School
Explore and compare mitosis and meiosis in this hands-on interactive workshop. You will see how the Chromosome Connections Kit© & Chromosome Student Modeling Pack© will take your students from the cellular scale to the molecular scale connecting DNA nucleotides to chromosomes, whether modeling mitosis or Punnett squares.
Ensuring Genome Stability (While Maintaining an Escape Hatch)
Tim Herman, PhD, 3D Molecular Designs
Learn about epigenetics and how it regulates gene expression. In addition, we will discuss how redundant DNA repair systems add to the accuracy of DNA replication to ensure that we persist as humans while retaining the ability to evolve.
