Each strip is coated with phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), a compound that tastes intensely bitter to some people, while others can’t taste it at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"577\"\u003eThe difference comes down to a single gene: TAS2R38. If you carry at least one dominant allele for this gene, you’ll taste the bitterness. If you carry two recessive alleles, you won’t taste anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"815\"\u003eAbout 70% of people can detect the bitter taste of PTC, though this percentage varies across populations. For example, nearly 100% of Indigenous peoples in the Americas are tasters, compared to about 58% of those with European ancestry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThese strips are safe in small quantities and commonly used in biology classrooms to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance, sensory perception, and genetic variation. A single nucleotide change—just one letter out of over 3 billion in your DNA—can determine your reaction to this test: a grimace or a shrug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003ePTC (phenylthiocarbamide) only has a taste to 7 out of 10 people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003ePerfect for a demonstration of genetics and heredity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003e30 micrograms of PTC on each strip - safe for taste testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eEach strip measures 6mm x 48mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eEach vial contains 100 test papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stemcell Science Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43730712821783,"sku":"OOO","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/8099\/9959\/files\/617VB-i_7hL._SL1500.jpg?v=1762208732","url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/ptc-test-strips-vial-of-100","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
