Hypothesis: By combining this sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Phe Cys Arg Gln with this sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln you will get an Orange Protein.
Experiments: If we change Trp and out Cys it will change to white protein and when we crossed with the white protein it comes Red.
The Results: End up with Red Protein.
The Conclusion: It support our Hypothesis.

Hypothesis: We believe that different sequences of amino acids will produce different colors.
experiments: Red has Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Phe Cys Arg Gln and yellow has Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln. We compared the two different sequences of Amino Acids.


Result:The difference between them is the amino acid. In the 10th sequence Yellow has TRP and Red has PHE.

Hypothesis: If you combine the differences in amino acid sequences between a blue flower and a red flower you will produce an amino acid sequence that codes for a purple flower.
Experiment: Since we know blue and red makes purple and their amino acid sequences are similar up until amino acid #9, which is tyr for blue and phe for red, construct a new amino acid sequence that places amino acids #9 as phe, #10 as tyr and vice versa.
Result: An amino acid sequence coding for a purple flower was produced (Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Phe Cys Arg Gln )
Conclusion: Our hypothesis was accurate.

Hypothesis- Orange is made of red and yellow, we believe that we can make a pure orange amino acid chain through a mutation.
Experiment- We found out the differences between the red and yellow and put them together, the only difference between the two chains was a Phe and Trp. all we did was put these together.

-
Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Phe Trp Cys Arg Gln
Result- A Pure orange can be made by mutating either the red or the yellow
Conclusion- Our hypothesis is accurate

Hypothesis: If you change the 10th amino acid in the sequence it will change the color of the flower.
Experiment: The amino acid sequence for green is (Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln) and the amino acid sequence for blue is (Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Cys Arg Gln). If you change the 10th amino acid in the green from Trp to Cys, the protein will become blue.
Result: When we changed the 10th amino acid from Trp to Cys it became blue.
Conclusion: Changing the 10th amino acid in the sequence changes the color of the protein.

Hypothesis: The amino acid sequence that makes green flowers is Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln. We predict that if we change Trp#11 on green to Cys, the resulting protein will make a blue flower.
Experiment: We copied the above sequence and replaced Trp on the green flower with Cys.
Results:


Conclusion: By replacing amino acid #11, Trp, with Cys we produced a blue flower. Our hypothesis was supported by the data.

Hypothesis: The sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Cys Arg Gln will make a blue protein. The sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Val Trp Cys Arg Gln will make a white protein. These combined will make a blue protein.
Experiment: From the sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln (yellow) we changed the sequence to Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Val Trp Cys Arg Gln to get a blue protein.
The Result: The combined protein was blue.
The Conclusion: Our hypothesis was correct. The sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Cys Arg Gln will make a blue protein with the sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Val Trp Cys Arg Gln.

We decided to test the following hypothesis to see if we can make a green flower:
Hypothesis: If we use the following amino acid sequence, the flower will be green: Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln.
Experiment: We entered this sequence of amino acids into Aipotu and see if our predictions were right.
Results:

Conclusion: Our hypothesis was supported by the data. This amino acid sequence produced green flowers

Hypothesis: 13 amino acids are needed to produce a color.
Experiment: Create a random sequence of 12 or less amino acids to see if a color is produced. Create a random sequence of 13 or more amino acids to see if a color is produced.
Result: A protein sequence of 12 or less amino acids DOES NOT produce a color. A protein sequence of 13 amino acids DOES produce a color.
Conclusion: A protein producing a color consists of at least 13 amino acids.

Hypothesis: A protein with the sequence “Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln” will produce a yellow flower
Experiment: If we use the sequence “Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln” we will get a yellow flower. If we alter the sequence to “Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val” we will get a colorless (or white) flower.
Result: When the sequence is “Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Trp Cys Arg Gln” the flower color was yellow. When the sequence is “Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val” the flower color was colorless (or white).
Conclusion: Our hypothesis is accurate.
