3. He answers our call to DEFEND the human race
WHENEVER he is need

4. People
judge him….
Because The
first thing they see
Is his face
and his skin
And they are
afraid

5. Before he was born his father was exposed to nuclear radiation from the
power plant where he worked…
His Dad was lucky
to survive

6. 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

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

8. What happened to him? As with anyone, each and
everyone of his cells has a unique blue print known as DNA
THE NUCLEUS : Contains genetic material or DNA

9. 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)

10. DNA consists of Base pairs linked by weak bonds
A=T
C=T
Is enough to define the physcial
structure of any living
creature

11. The Beast Isolated his DNA
he found mutations in his it
that unlocked with in him
Unique and strange abilities
Today YOU will
extract your own DNA using simple
materials
Just like he did….

12. 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
student
Fill 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.

13. Questions
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?
