Team Name: Rollokent


Title of our experiment:
Molecular Genetics and worms


Purpose of our experiment:
To find out whether the double stranded RNA is turning off the DNA or turning off the mRNA.

Videos:
Wild-Type C elegans worms!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzb1NFg6WX0&safe=activeThis is a day-13 dumpy C. Elegan mutant worm.

Conclusion and comments:

The worms who ate the double stranded RNA lost their dpy-13 gene making their worms look dumpy.
