An Epidemiological Approach to Addressing Food Insecurity
Objectives:
- Identify different phenotypes of corn (maize) kernels.
- Use ratios and sampling to determine which of two different ears of corn is most likely to have produced a given sample of kernels.
- Use Punnett Squares to determine the genotypes of the “parents” that produced the different kernel samples.
- Compare and contrast traditional selective breeding techniques with genetically engineering a desired trait in corn.
- Model the regulation of gene expression in a hypothetical cell.
- Discuss the potential role that epigentic variation may play in improving corn crops of the future.
