You will choose one option from each of the three Research Materials below and design an experiment. First, do a literature search ahead of time and make sure that the process you are interested in studying actually occurs in the organism you select. Then, make sure that the variable you choose for your experiment would have an effect on the process you are studying.
    2-slide PowerPoint presentation:

    Slide 1: Your name, and the three research options youve selected to study
    Slide 2: Your hypothesis statement
