Teams of computer scientists and biology students work together to develop a simulated experiment on mutations in mice. The simulation is programmed with the complete sequence of mouse DNA. Then it calculates the frequency of mutations under three conditions: when the mice are subjected to tobacco smoke, subjected to ultraviolet radiation, and kept under normal conditions. For each mutation, the simulation identifies whether the mutation affects a mouse protein.

The return of the wolf to yellowstone national park will probably affect the bird population to some degree, not significantly. while wolves will hunt birds when necessary, they prefer to hunt larger prey. the bird population will most likely only be affected when hunting is scarce for the wolves. birds of prey will also probably not be affected as much as other birds who spend more time on the ground hunting for food as the tend to spend more time in the air or in trees since they do not need to stay on the ground for long due to the nature of the way they hunt.
