Teaching kit contains a nematode mutant or a wild-type nematode belonging to the strain nematoda, as the research animal. The kit enables students to understand the laws of genetics by carrying out various genetic experiments, within a relatively short space of time (5 days for 2 generations c.f. a matter of years for doing the expt. with sweet beans). The nematodes can be stored for up to several years in semidried or frozen condition possibly in ampoulles, are harmless and non-pathogenic and can easily be killed by throwing into hot water.
