Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a genetic circuit that utilizes both activators and repressors to control the production of a specific protein in a bacterial system. Outline your circuit's inputs, logic gates, and expected outcomes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of how different conditions could alter the biological responses.

Question 2

Discuss how advances in synthetic biology could impact agricultural practices, particularly in relation to gene regulation using genetic circuits.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how natural processes can be replicated or improved through engineering.
