Year 12 biology students are encouraged to register your attendance if you're not coming with your school in Term 3 Week 1.
Join other Year 12 biology students to improve your understanding of Unit 4 subject matter and practice laboratory skills relevant to genetics.
Delivered by Dr Gurion Ang and current undergraduate biology students, explore concepts in:
- recombinant DNA (bacterial transformation)
- gene regulation
- DNA extraction
- amplification (PCR)
- analysis (gel electrophoresis).
You'll assess your knowledge at the end of Experience Genetics with a quiz to earn your limited edition Experience Genetics 2022 sticker.
