Dear Students,
The Xtitute is a research organization comprised of the greatest geneticists and researchers in the world. We are developing a cutting edge process of genetic engineering capable of revolutionizing what it means to be human. We are currently working on a series of genetic modifications in order to make humans more capable of exploring other worlds and dangerous landscapes.
We need your help in developing a process through which we can select the most beneficial genotypes to use in our parent gametes. After these cells become fertilized, we can use the stem cells produced to modify existing cells with great new abilities. Your job is to tell us what two genotypes we should use in our two parent gametes. Our scientists have discovered 3 specific genes, capable of producing a variety of traits, such as enhanced strength, toxic resistance, and photosynthetic skin. You need to make your decision based on what you feel would be the most helpful traits for someone exploring new planets or dangerous environments.
After you have made your decision, please write back to us and explain your selection.
Be sure to list the full array of possible offspring from your selection. This may be easier if you simply draw out a Punnett Square for each of your selected genes. Then, explain why you feel your selection would be the best choice for developing an explorer for dangerous environments.
Lastly, please write out the step by step process that you used to come to your decision. Our geneticists are hard at work looking for more hidden capabilities inside the human genome, and elsewhere! We want to be sure that if we discover anything new, we can use the same process to select our next parent cells.
Regards,
Professor C. Xavier
