Students will analyze two different models. In the first model, students will see how the structure of an apple’s DNA dictates the structure of the proteins produced in apples and how the proteins correspond to variations in the traits of apples. In the second model, students can see how farmers can look at the structures of apples and cross certain apples to produce the apples they desire.
