Upon completion of this presentation, participants will: 1) Learn about gel electrophoresis and understand the science behind how this technique works 2) Learn how to teach Mendelian genetics with an adorable labradoodle puppy case study 3) Have the knowledge and resources they need to bring biotech into their classrooms
