Year 12 Biology Excursion

Our Year 12 Biology students recently visited the Ecolinc Science and Technology Innovations Centre in Maddingley where they tested different food samples to determine if they had been genetically modified.

They used Polymerase Chain Reaction to amplify the DNA sample extracted from the food, and then a gel electrophoresis to determine the sizes of DNA fragments.

It was a fascinating session for our senior students.
