	=== Scientific Conclusion ===		=== Scientific Conclusion ===
		+	This assignment showed that color expression is dependent on how a protein is structured, and specifically by its amino acid sequence. In order to absorb and emit UV wavelengths as a flower color, the sequence must contain a high number of alternating double bonds so that UV absorbance is high. Additionally, it is not always possible to determine the phenotypic result of crossing one or two organisms, as the many alleles involved in this process may produce one or multiple colored flowers. This shows us that phenotype cannot always help us determine a scientific result, and it is incredibly important to examine genetic material when we are looking for answers to scientific questions.

 d. What features of the amino acid sequence make a protein a particular color?
 The aromatic amino acids must be in a specific position of the amino acid sequence to ensure its interactions with the amino acids around it will still result in color expression. In the examples above, the aromatic amino acid can only be found in the 10th position, the 11th position, or in both. If there is a disruption at other positions of the sequence, this may interfere with how the peptide sequence interacts and color could not be expressed even though an aromatic amino acid is present.
 e. How do the colors combine to produce an overall color? How does this explain the genotype-phenotype rules you found in part (I)? Colors that only have one kind of allele and are then self-crossed will only result in that color. This is seen by self-crossing Green-1, which only has the one green allele and only results in the green color being expressed. Conversely, colors that have two alleles are then self-crossed may result in multiple colors. This is seen by self-crossing Green-2, which has two alleles, and results in green, yellow, and blue flowers. True breeding colors crossed with another true breeding color can also produce new colors, like green and white being crossed to created yellow and blue. So, overall color expression is dependent on the difference in alleles of the crossed organisms.
