PTC Genetic Taste Test Strip Kit with Control, 2-Vial

This PTC Test Strips and Control Test Strips Experiment Set includes two vials with enough strips for 100 experiments (more if strips are cut in half). PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) has a bitter taste detectable by approximately 7 out of 10 people, making it a classic demonstration of genetic variation in taste perception. A control strip is included to ensure experiments can be conducted with scientific accuracy. Each strip measures 6 x 48 mm. This set is suitable for genetics and heredity lessons where the inheritance of the PTC tasting gene serves as a tangible example of dominant and recessive alleles.
