someone else on this forum is already attempting to purchase equipments to make his own line of glofishes. By glofish you mean the artificial ones right?

The genes that make them glow are GFP, CFP, YFP. green, cyan, and yellow fluorescent proteins. I think they are kind of expensive to purchase right?

yeb $90 fo 10ul, thats like 1/5 of a drop.
and i dont think glow fish can sleep eather 😀

Haha, I don’t think that they sleep. But I’d like to have some glofish myself…

thanks for that, would u have any links to some information reagrding its creation, like pedigree trees,Struture of the DNA
2. Protein synthesis
3. Mutations
4. Recombinant DNA (how geneitc modification was achieved)
5. Monohybrid and Dihybrid crosses
6. Pedigree trees and Test Crosses

if any information is found on any of those topics, it would be highly appreciated, chhers

[david23]

the GFP gene falls under I guess autosomal, and I guess dominant obviously. Your questions have very little to do with their glowing abilities.

yeh mate, the questions are actually about the glofish itself and not only the glowing capabilities. I need those few questions answered to get the whole thing about glofish, if u have any links, it would be highly apppreciated.

cheers
