🧬 P. aequor DNA Lab
Welcome, Researcher!
You’re part of an elite research team exploring the ocean floor near hydrothermal vents. In the depths, your team has discovered a mysterious organism: Pila aequor (P. aequor).
This organism contains just 15 DNA bases—but mutates rapidly due to intense underwater conditions. Because P. aequor can’t survive above sea level and deep-sea expeditions are costly, your mission is to simulate its DNA in the lab.
By generating DNA samples, triggering mutations, and checking survival chances, you’ll help uncover how P. aequor adapts in the wild. Time to begin!
Step 1: Generate a DNA specimen
Every P. aequor starts with a random sequence of 15 DNA bases. Let’s create one in the lab and begin our analysis.
Original DNA
Step 2: Mutate the organism
Let’s simulate a natural mutation! One of the DNA bases will randomly change, just like it might in the deep sea.
Mutated DNA
Step 3: Check survival chance
Scientists discovered that P. aequor is more likely to survive if 60% or more of its DNA is made up of Cytosine (C) or Guanine (G). Let’s check if your mutated organism stands a chance.
