N-Propylthiouracil Genetic Taste Test Paper, 100-Strip

This vial contains 100 strips of N-Propylthiouracil (PROP) taste test paper, used to test for the genetically controlled ability to taste this substance. PROP can taste bland, bitter, or intensely unpleasant depending on the sensitivity of an individual's taste buds. The bitter taste and its intensity depend on whether the individual carries a homozygous dominant or heterozygous genetic condition. The pocket-sized, lightweight vial makes this test paper convenient for classroom genetics experiments studying inherited taste perception differences.
