Condors nearly went extinct\u2014with only 22 left in the wild at one point\u2014before their population numbers were brought back up through a captive breeding\/conservation program. The\u00a0Safari Park sends out the condor chick DNA samples to teachers so students can practice gel electrophoresis,\u00a0or a\u00a0laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. The process reveals\u00a0whether or not the condor chick is a male or female. The end results are depicted below. Two\u00a0lines mean\u00a0it is a female and one line means\u00a0it is a male.
