 f) Show your purple protein and explain why it is purple.
 MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTyrPheArgGln is the amino acid sequence for the purple protein pictured above. The protein takes on a purple color because it contains two aromatic amino acids, Tyr and Phe, positioned in the 10th and 11th spots. These amino acids have aromatic rings that boost absorbance by allowing electrons within the ring to freely move along their bonds. This heightened absorbance capability is what allows the protein to showcase the color purple.

	e) How do the colors combine to produce an overall color? How does this explain the genotype-phenotype rules you found in part I?		e) How do the colors combine to produce an overall color? How does this explain the genotype-phenotype rules you found in part I?
	When a color has only one type of gene and mates or self crosses with itself, it will always show that color. For instance, Green-1, with just a green gene, consistently displays the green color when self-crossed. On the other hand, if a color has two genes and is self-crossed, it can reveal various colors. Green-2, with two genes, would have self-crossing that results in flowers with green, yellow, and blue shades. Additionally, when true breeding colors with matching traits are crossed, new colors can emerge. The overall display of color relies on the genetic differences between the organisms involved in the mating process. While a specific genetic composition consistently leads to a particular appearance, that same appearance can be observed across different genetic compositions.

 Proteins can have color because of special amino acids like tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. These amino acids have aromatic rings that can absorb UV light. When proteins have these amino acids next to one another, they can absorb more UV light, especially in the UV-Vis spectrum. This makes them fluorescent and show different colors. The color depends on the kinds of amino acids and how they're arranged in the protein.

+d) What features of the amino acid sequence make a protein a particular color?
 The color of a protein depends on how aromatic amino acids are arranged in its sequence. To make the protein show color, these amino acids need to be in specific spots where they can interact well with the surrounding amino acids. If there are changes in other positions of the amino acid sequence, it can mess up how the amino acids interact, and the protein might not show its color even if it has these special amino acids. So, where these special amino acids are placed in the sequence really matters for the protein to have its unique color.
