Science/Genomics: Cheek DNA Test!

Science: Cheek DNA Test 

This afternoon we got the opportunity to do a cheek dna test. You may wonder what this may be? Well we got to scrape the inside of our mouths and see what they look like under neath a microscope. 

Our very first task was to scrape the inside of our mouths with a Popsicle stick. With those scrapings from our mouths we placed that onto a slide that has Sodium Chloride INJ BP, we also had to share that one slide with a buddy. After that we had to wait a while for it all to dry so we could see the scrapings from inside of our mouths clearly. Once that time went passed we got the opportunity to see the insides of our mouths underneath a microscope.  

Underneath a microscope I could see purple bits which is properly from the scrapings from the inside of our mouths. 

Overall the check DNA test was a fun experience. Getting the chance to see the insides of our mouths underneath a microscope was a very fun opportunity.
