This is a simple, yet highly informative lab, where students test their ability to taste PTC with the included PTC paper. The test allows them to obtain hereditary data to test the Hardy-Weinberg principle as it applies to small and large populations. They also perform an activity using cards that simulate the effects of selection, the heterozygous advantage, and genetic drift on a population. The lab activity also features background information on the study of population genetics, Mendelian genetics, and the principles of heredity.
