Purpose: The purpose of this week's assignment was multifaceted. Of course, as stated in the overview by Dr. Dahlquist it will help understand models and pair that with the process of science. It also served as a way to review important ideas in "genetics, biochemistry, evolution, and the central model of molecular biology" On a deeper level, it also allowed us to uncover firsthand the processes at play in terms of alleles and dominant and recessive genes. It also allowed us to get a quick practical understanding of mutations.

Aipotu Genetics
Purpose
The purpose of the Genetics section of Aipotu is to explore the different genotypes and phenotypes of the flowers and their relationships to one another. From completing the Genetics section of Aipotu, we will have discovered all of the possible flower alleles and phenotypes and which alleles are dominant, recessive, or codominant to one another.
Combined Methods/Results
Directions from Part I: Genetics were followed. Part II: Genetics - Mutation was attempted, but all attempts to mutate to a purple color protein were unsuccessful. Significant crosses, tables, and notes were recorded. As each color flower was created, it was added to the greenhouse. As each true-breeding flower of a new color was created, they were added to the greenhouse and labeled to indicate their true-breeding genetics.
Conclusion
Acknowledgments
I worked on the Genetics section of Aipotu with my homework partner Andrew Sandler in-person during the Monday 1:45-3:00 PM class period. We worked separately to discover the flower colors and came back together to work with our professor Dr. Kam Dahlquist to determine the dominance relationships between the genotypes that Andrew and I discovered.
