Re-Bops!






So in genetics, we've been talking about how DNA is much like the recipe that controls what your body looks like. More accurately, your DNA encodes a genotype, which determines your phenotype, or what you see. To explore this concept, we took a dip in the Re-Bop gene pool and built our own (delicious) organisms. Don't worry, the energy in them was successfully recycled into the great circle of life -- that is, we at them. Take a look at the variation in the organisms due to different alleles for the same gene!
