Abstract:
Genetic related technologies are increasingly influencing human health and life. From theory to practice, teaching through typical cases of disciplinary applications has become a popular new model in the field of genetics education. This experiment takes the phenotype case of "alcohol flush" as an example, organically integrating genetic knowledge from multiple perspectives and levels such as phenotypic analysis, population genetic analysis and pedigree analysis with experimental cases. In teaching practice, the "alcohol flush" case study can greatly stimulate students' interest in active learning, cultivate students' ability to connect theory with practice, discover and solve problems from practice, and further expand their learning of genetic testing related bioethics, genetic information protection, genetic resource protection, and other knowledge through personal practical teaching, thus cultivate students' scientific thinking ability and scientific literacy.
