Essential Question How is recombinant DNA

used to improve agriculture?Standard

B.7C - Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals.

B.7E - Analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species.

Congratulations, you’re now a sweet potato

farmer!

Each month for the next year, something will happen that might increase or decrease your potato crop.

Follow the directions carefully…and may the potato odds be ever in your favor!

May: Planting•There is a late-season frost at the end of May. If you did not choose the anti-freeze gene, you lose 3 potatoes.

May: Planting•The neighboring lettuce farmer offered to lease your fields to double his early summer lettuce crop. If you bought seed for potatoes for a shorter growing season, you are able to lease him your land and still plant your own sweet potato crop in late June. Add 4 potatoes.

June - September: Growth

•It’s been a bad year for potato farmers. Many farms have been overtaken by caterpillars that eat anything green in sight. If you didn’t choose the Bt sweet potatoes, you lose 4.

June - September: Growth•It’s been a very windy year, leading to greater amounts of weed seed dispersal. Weeds are threatening to overtake your farm, and you need to spray Roundup to get the problem under control. If you do not have Roundup ready sweet potatoes, lose 3.

June - September: Growth•Texas is experiencing a severe drought. If you bought drought resistant sweet potatoes, add 5.

June - September: Growth•Your farm has not been bothered by weeds, but your neighbor’s farm has been overrun! Your neighbor sprayed Roundup and it affected plants on your farm. If you do not have Roundup ready sweet potatoes, lose 1.

June - September: Growth•There is a root-knot nematode infestation on your farm. If you did not grow sweet potatoes that were resistant to root-knot nematodes, lose 3.

June - September: Growth•There was no sweet potato virus disease this year in Texas. If you paid extra for SPVD resistant potatoes, you lost money and lose 1 potato.

October - January: Sales & Storage•Overseas sales of products with high levels of vitamin C skyrockets. You can double your asking price if you grew sweet potatoes with enhanced levels of vitamin C. This lets you buy more seed for next year. Add 3.

October - January: Sales & Storage•A new report on the prevention of cancer came out indicating vitamin A as the most important component of a cancer-prevention diet. If you grew sweet potatoes with enhanced levels of Beta carotene, the precursor for vitamin A, you can sell your potatoes at an increased profit. Add 4.

October - January: Sales & Storage•High protein diets are back in vogue. If you are growing sweet potatoes with increased protein content, add 2.

October - January: Sales & Storage•McDonalds has finally decided to sell sweet potato fries! As a mass food producer, they are only interested in getting as many fries per potato as possible. If you bred for increased size, add 3.

October - January: Sales & Storage•Martha Stewart has come up with a new sweet potato dish to celebrate Memorial Day. Regular sweet potatoes only last until March. If you grew sweet potatoes that were bred for a longer shelf life, add 2.

October - January: Sales & Storage•Ben & Jerry’s has come out with Sweet Potato Party Ice Cream. If you are growing sweet potatoes with enhanced sweetness, they will pay double for your crop. Add 4.

October - January: Sales & Storage•Blue sweet potatoes do not sell. Parents are concerned that the blue color is related to an outbreak of the vaccine-resistant measles. If you are growing blue sweet potatoes, lose 6.

Potato Game Wrap up

1. Who has the most potatoes left?2. Did anyone lose their entire crop?3. What are the positives and negatives of some of the modifications?4. Why is choosing modifications such an important and challenging

investment? 5. Why do you think some farmers opt out of genetic modifications

entirely?6. How did genetic and environmental factors work together to affect your

potato crop?

Discuss the following questions with your table. Write the answer to the following questions on your paper.

• List your 3 Genetic Modifications from your Sweet Potato Farm.• How would it be possible for future potato generations to

keep the same traits of your genetically modified potatoes.

Essential Question What are some other forms of evolution in addition to

natural selection?
