DNALC
experiments featured in the documentary Race – The Power
of an Illusion
See exerpts from the documentary,
produced by California Newsreel, that show DNALC instructor,
Scott Bronson,
working with
students to examine their mitochondrial DNA.
Clips: 1 2 3 4 5
This
site provides biochemical methods and computer tools to allow students
to use their own DNA "fingerprints" as a starting point in the study
of human evolution. Two experiments are currently available, which
are supported
by reagents and ready-to-use kits available from Carolina Biological
Supply Company.

ON ONE EXPERIMENT TO BEGIN:
Mitochondrial
(mt) Point Mutations
are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detected
in the ring-shaped chromosome found in the cell's energy-producing organelle.
Mutations are common in mt DNA, in large part due to exposure to oxygen
free radicals generated as a by-product of respiration. Mitochondrial
mutations can be used to retrace the common maternal lineage of modern
humans and to determine our relationship to the extinct hominid Neandertal.
Alu
Insertion Polymorphism detects the presence
or absence of a "jumping gene" on chromosome 16. This simple genetic system
has only two alleles and three genotypes. Despite this simplicity, allele
frequencies vary greatly in different world populations. Alternate explanations
about the causes of this variation are consistent with opposing theories
of the origins of modern humans.
