Essential Question
How is recombinant DNA
used to improve
agriculture?
Standard
B.7C - Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations,
not individuals.
B.7E - Analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and
to the development of diversity in and among species.
Congratulations, you’re
now a sweet potato
farmer!
Each month for the next year,
something will happen that might
increase or decrease your potato
crop.
Follow the directions
carefully…and may the potato
odds be ever in your favor!
May: Planting
•There is a late-season frost at
the end of May. If you did not
choose the anti-freeze gene,
you lose 3 potatoes.
May: Planting
•The neighboring lettuce farmer offered to
lease your fields to double his early summer
lettuce crop. If you bought seed for
potatoes for a shorter growing season, you
are able to lease him your land and still
plant your own sweet potato crop in late
June. Add 4 potatoes.
June - September: Growth
•It’s been a bad year for potato farmers.
Many farms have been overtaken by
caterpillars that eat anything green in
sight. If you didn’t choose the Bt sweet
potatoes, you lose 4.
June - September: Growth
•It’s been a very windy year, leading to greater
amounts of weed seed dispersal. Weeds are
threatening to overtake your farm, and you
need to spray Roundup to get the problem
under control. If you do not have Roundup
ready sweet potatoes, lose 3.
June - September: Growth
•Texas is experiencing a severe drought. If you
bought drought resistant sweet potatoes,
add 5.
June - September: Growth
•Your farm has not been bothered by weeds,
but your neighbor’s farm has been overrun!
Your neighbor sprayed Roundup and it
affected plants on your farm. If you do not
have Roundup ready sweet potatoes, lose 1.
June - September: Growth
•There is a root-knot nematode
infestation on your farm. If you did not
grow sweet potatoes that were resistant
to root-knot nematodes, lose 3.
June - September: Growth
•There was no sweet potato virus
disease this year in Texas. If you paid
extra for SPVD resistant potatoes, you
lost money and lose 1 potato.
October - January: Sales &
Storage
•Overseas sales of products with high levels of
vitamin C skyrockets. You can double your asking
price if you grew sweet potatoes with enhanced
levels of vitamin C. This lets you buy more seed
for next year. Add 3.
October - January: Sales &
Storage
•A new report on the prevention of cancer came
out indicating vitamin A as the most important
component of a cancer-prevention diet. If you
grew sweet potatoes with enhanced levels of
Beta carotene, the precursor for vitamin A, you
can sell your potatoes at an increased profit.
Add 4.
October - January: Sales &
Storage
•High protein diets are back in vogue. If you are
growing sweet potatoes with increased
protein content, add 2.
October - January: Sales & Storage
•McDonalds has finally decided to sell sweet
potato fries! As a mass food producer, they are
only interested in getting as many fries per
potato as possible. If you bred for increased
size, add 3.
October - January: Sales & Storage
•Martha Stewart has come up with a new sweet
potato dish to celebrate Memorial Day. Regular
sweet potatoes only last until March. If you
grew sweet potatoes that were bred for a
longer shelf life, add 2.
October - January: Sales & Storage
•Ben & Jerry’s has come out with Sweet
Potato Party Ice Cream. If you are
growing sweet potatoes with enhanced
sweetness, they will pay double for your
crop. Add 4.
October - January: Sales & Storage
•Blue sweet potatoes do not sell. Parents are
concerned that the blue color is related to an
outbreak of the vaccine-resistant measles. If
you are growing blue sweet potatoes, lose 6.
Potato Game Wrap up
Discuss the following questions with your table. Write the answer to the following
questions on your paper.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Who has the most potatoes left?
Did anyone lose their entire crop?
What are the positives and negatives of some of the modifications?
Why is choosing modifications such an important and challenging
investment?
5. Why do you think some farmers opt out of genetic modifications
entirely?
6. How did genetic and environmental factors work together to affect your
potato crop?
• List your 3 Genetic Modifications from your Sweet Potato
Farm.
• How would it be possible for future potato generations to
keep the same traits of your genetically modified potatoes.
