Karyotyping with Plain English Map of Human Chromosomes Kit

Why are we unique? This question and others are tackled in this fascinating kit. Students form groups of two and examine envelopes that contain genetic information for simulated reproduction. By matching up chromosomes with their partner's set and determining the genetic traits of the offspring, students learn about dominant and recessive genes, meiosis and mitosis, genetic diseases and more.
