Abstract
What is it about eating we love? Tasting something!! For some there is no taste. That is where we begin our study. Utilizing the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS), a lab kit from Carolina Biological and simple taste experiments we have interwoven a study on why some folks can taste a bitter compound and others can't. Starting with a simple question of whether or not you like broccoli (which can be for many reasons), leading to the actual sequence of the taster gene from your cheek cell.
Keywords: agarose gel electrophoresis, human genetics, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), bitter taste receptor
