Challenge Team Abstract

Team Number: 013 School Name: Silver High School Area of Science: Genetics Project Title: Are YOU one of a kind?

Have you ever heard of IDENTICAL offspring? chances are you have, but Have you ever heard of IDENTICAL offspring being produced at separate birhts? Well, if you haven't, this is what "Are YOU one of a kind?" is going to model. For many years scientists have been researching human chromosomes. It has been discovered that it is possible to produce two identical offsrping at separate birhts by the same parents. Our team has come up with a way to mathematically represent this figuring.

To start out this project, the chromosomes of a fuit fly are going to be modeled first. The team members will test their program with the fruit fly. The fruit fly is going to be tested to find the probability of the flies producing identical offspring. After accomplishing that model, the program will then be written and tested to find the probability of humans producing identical offspring.
