Dive into the evolution of whales: from a sequence of nucleotides to a 30-meter long blue whale.

Dive into the evolution of whales! Follow the path of a gene from a rare mutation to being stuck in a population through natural disasters and competition.

Perform the three stages of urinalysis on a variety of urine samples collected from patients. Apply your knowledge of urine's macroscopic, chemical, and microscopic properties to interpret the urinalysis results and suggest a plausible diagnosis.

Measure the protein content in a food sample with the Kjeldahl method, and investigate whether the apparent result has been tampered with by using LC-MS/MS.

Learn about the Mendelian inheritance of double muscling in cattle. Find the responsible gene using linkage analysis and learn how mutation in this gene alters gene expression resulting in double muscled cattle.
