casanova Experiment

Page 6: Conclusions

There are several conclusions that can be drawn from this experiment.

1) Was your hypotheis supported or refuted?

- What data supported it?

- What data refuted it?

2) Based on your knowledge and the heat beat data, how do you explain the cas phenotype?

3) Can the drastic effects of the cas mutation be applied to genetic mutations as a whole?

- If not, Why?

This brings us to the end of the casanova Experiment. However, it is always good to try and determine what could be done in future experiments to better understand the cas mutation. Perhaps the function of the heart precursors could be better assesed by measuring blood flow. This would be a different experiment than simply measureing the bpm, and could provide a better understanding of the casanova mutation. As a scientist, it is always important to not only test your hypothesis, but to re-test it as well.

This concludes the casanova Experiment. Hopefully you now have a better understanding of genetic mutations and how the scientific method works.
