Investigate the basics of heredity and discover how the genes you inherited from your parents determine much of who youare. Review the structure of DNA to see how genetic information is organized. Find out which students have dominant or recessive traits by conducting experiments with your class. Museum specimens from our Hamann-Todd Human Osteological Collection (the world’s largest documented collection of modern human skeletal remains!) will be used to illustrate how our concepts of human taxonomy have changed since the advent of DNA technology.
