He answers our call to DEFEND the human raceWHENEVER he is need

People judge him…. Because The first thing they see

Is his face and his skin And they are

afraid

Before he was born his father was exposed to nuclear radiation from the power plant where he worked…

His Dad was lucky

to survive

His parents told him what had happened…...

Indeed there had been some “abnormalities” … But it wasn’t important they loved him no matter what.

He was a genius. He developed a superior intellect despite his bizarre physical traits

As he grew older ….. people saw him as a FREAK!

What happened to him? As with anyone, each and everyone of his cells has a unique blue print known as DNA

: Contains genetic material or DNATHE NUCLEUS

DNA makes us each unique Our DNA generally exists loose diffusely spread out in the nucleus. When there is

cellular replication it coils into a tight structures called a chromosomes.

Your DNA (genotype) is the blue print that tells your body what it will look like( phenotype)

DNA consists of Base pairs linked by weak bonds

A = T C = T

The combination of

Is enough to define the physcial structure of any living creature

In ti

ght coils

Just like he did….

The Beast Isolated his DNAhe found mutations in his itthat unlocked with in himUnique and strange abilities

Today YOU will

extract your own DNA using simple materials

DO IT NOW:Using materials before you EXRACT YOUR OWN DNA

Prepare the 0.9 percent salt solution (2 teaspoons of table salt dissolved in 1 quart/liter of water)Pour 10ml of salt solution in Dixie cups; one for each student Prepare 25 percent detergent solution (1 volume of detergent mixed with 3 volumes of water)Fill large labeled test tubes with 1 teaspoon (5ml) of detergent solution; one for each studentFill labeled test tube with 2 teaspoons (10ml) of rubbing alcohol and seal; one for each student. Store in the fridge. The alcohol needs to be cold for the extraction to be successful. Prepare a tray with materials for each pair/table or set-up another procedure to hand-out material to students.

Experiment with other DNA sources. Which source gives you the most DNA? How can you compare them?

How would finding out about the Beast’s mutations help him?
