Of This Experiment The Approach Make two identical animal species-the subject and control-and apply environmental pressure to the subject in a way to try to influence the gene pool on the following genes: 'Roaming Turn Angle The Plan Of Attack 1 Design and build the subject animal. 2 Duplicate and rename the subject as the control animal. 3. Design and build the world needed for the experiment. H. Modify the climate for optimum control. 5. Change the laws of physics for optimum time passage and population limits. 6. Populate the world with the subject and control species. 7. Record the starting genetic data for both populations. 8. Apply the environmental pressure for a number of generations. 9. Observe the results at two points in time. 10. Analyze the results.
