THE VICTORIA SCHOOL SANTIAGO JACOME LAB REPORT PTC BIOLOGY SL AIM: The aim of this lab is to analyze the genotype differences of classmates that are able to taste PTC‚ Thiourea and Sodium benzoate and determine the phenotypes found. Testing the ability to taste PTC has been a mainstay activity in human genetics for generations of teacher and students. The ability to taste PTC is inherited. Traditionally this is presented as a case of simple Mendelian inheritance involving a dominant allele for tasting
