Komm’ und extrahiere die Erbinformation aus Früchten!

Workshop in German, 8–12 years

All living things, from humans to the food we eat, have all of the genetic information tightly packed in each individual cell of their body. This genetic information is called Deoxyribonucleic Acid, which is shortened to DNA. DNA is passed from one generation to another and controls development, function and growth of a living organisms. These tiny individual packages cannot be observed with the naked eye, but if we were to stretch out the DNA it would look like a 2 meter thin thread. In this workshop we will extract and investigate the DNA from various fruits that are at different stages of maturation.
