Outline of DNA to Trait Projects
These are adapted from the shared document Outline of DNA to Trait Projects, April 2011.
| DNA to Trait 1: colorless |
Students discover the molecular basis of colorless based on learning about an enzyme deficiency in Frost drakes.
Go to the colorless demo.
| DNA to Trait 2: Metallic |
Students discover that molecular basis of Metallic based on information in an old study of the phenotype, done long before the genome sequence was available.
Go to the Metallic demo.
| DNA to Trait 3: Bog breath |
Students discover the molecular basis of bog breath and dancer by learning about the urea cycle.
Go to the bog breath demo.
| DNA to Trait 4: brown |
Students discover the molecular basis of brown following a mapping experiment.
Go to the brown demo.
| DNA to Trait 5: dilute |
Students discover the molecular basis of dilute following a mapping experiment.
Go to the dilute demo.
These are meant to be interesting challenges. There is a useful table on the help page.
If you are impatient, there is also an answer key of sorts.
