Genetic Taste Test Strips, Thiourea - 100 Strips

Thiourea

A quick, easy, and completely safe way to analyse commonly tested genetic traits. Simple taste tests allow students to determine their possible genotypes.

The ability to taste Thiourea and PTC (Phenylthio Carbamide) is a genetically heritable trait that follows basic Mendelian patterns. They both taste bitter to some people. This is a genetic variation which normally occurs in a ratio of 75% who can taste PTC and Thiourea versus 25% of those who cannot. The ability to taste PTC and Thiourea are genetically linked because they’re similar chemicals. However, this doesn’t mean you will have the same reaction to both. PTC and Thiourea are not identical, so some people may taste PTC but not Thiourea, or vice versa.

Non impregnated strips (HHE-250-250) can be used as a known or blind control.

 Using multiple taste test strips, your participants will fall into groups/subgroups where you can then identify similar habits and traits among those participants.
