How could you genetically modify an animal so that it would distinguish more shades of green?

#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. Induce genes to produce a greater number of cone cells in the fovea.
  2. Introduce genes for different opsins that respond in the green region of the spectrum.
  3. Introduce genes to produce green fluid in the eyeball, because green fluids will not absorb green light.

  4. Induce increased production of cGMP to increase opening of cGMP-gated sodium channels.

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
