This class really educated me about the biotechnology world. I learned about the ethical issues of genetic engineering, as well as the benefits of it. I enjoyed all the labs that we did because they challenged me and prepared me for college classes. We learned how to perform Polymerase chain reaction to make multiple copies of a sample of DNA, how to load and run a gel electrophoresis, how to extract DNA, DNA fingerprinting, separate proteins, and bacterial transformations. We collected samples of magnolia leaves and began the DNA extraction process, and started the project for other students to finish in the future.
