WEB QUEST What’s the Big Deal About DNA? Explore the Web Quest online and use the space below to record what you learn. Questions 1. Describe what DNA looks like, or draw a picture in the space provided. What is a double helix? What do the letters A, T, C, and G stand for? 2. Explain what the human genome is. Why do scientists want to study it? http://www.scholastic.com 3. Compare and contrast the St. Vincent parrot and the pacu. Where does each animal live? Why is it endangered? How do scientists collect DNA for the animal? How do they use DNA to help protect the animal? 4. Name two reasons why scientists would want to clone animals. 5. Describe why scientists would want to change how fast (or slow) organisms like salmon or grass grow. Do you think this should be done? Defend your answer. http://www.scholastic.com 6. Did you identify the animal and its body part from the American Museum of Natural History’s Frozen Tissue Lab? What is it? WEB QUEST: WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL WITH DNA? Bonus Round: Cracking the Case With DNA 1. Explain how DNA Detective George Amato used DNA to analyze handbags and shoes that arrived at a New York City airport. What did he discover about these items? 2. Identify one item a detective might search for at a crime scene when trying to find DNA evidence. How is DNA like a fingerprint? http://www.scholastic.com
