Abstract:
The paper is concerned about a teaching and learning reform of hybridization experiment of Drosophila melanogaster. In the teaching of genetic experiment, we have adopted a new teaching and learning method which was a discovering way instead of traditional method. In this way, students themselves selected the combination subject, put forward and carried out the whole experiment scheme. By the reform,we could find out that it was helpful not only to improve students' thinking and operating abilities but also to encourage their interests in genetics.
