The first year practical courses for bachelor students of biology started today and we are highly looking forward to four really interesting and fun weeks.

The aim of the first part is to extract the DNA of a banana and from humans in order to be able to look at it under the microscope. There are a few important steps necessary to get the DNA out of the nucleus.

The aim of the second part is to fixate, stain and look at different stages of mitosis in garlic roots. How beautiful this is!
