Restriction Enzymes: A Genetic Engineering Restriction Endonuclease Activity

A comprehensive hands-on learning activity for restriction endonucleases.

Students select from one of 57 different scenario cards then digest their DNA strand according to the provided instructions.

When finished, they self-check their results by counting the number of fragments produced and the number of base pairs per fragment.

Three scenarios allow differentiation between students and grade levels:

A (easiest), B, and C.

Student instruction card also posted on Easel for convenient online access.

Includes:

• Student Instruction Cards. (Reusable)
• 19 different Restriction Enzyme Cards. Blunt ends & sticky ends included. (Reusable)
• 57 Scenario Cards. Answers to all scenarios include number of fragments produced & number of base pairs per fragment. (Reusable)
• 1 page Student DNA Strand (197 base pairs total length). (Not reusable)
