Botana Curus

   Botana Curus is valuable plant because it produces Curol. Curol can be used to treat certain types of cancer. However, botana curus grows very slowly and is on the list of endangered species. So we need to find a new plant that is related to BC. We cant only rely on BC since it grows very slowly and we need curol to treat cancer. So we tested three other species (X,Y, and Z) to see which one is closely related to BC so we can get curol.
   The species that is closely related to BC is species Z. One way to prove this is through test #6. In this test we used a gel electrophoresis model to test the DNA bands in all three species and botana curus. Test #6 showed us that species Z and BC have the same DNA banding pattern. This means that BC and species Z are related and may have a common ancestor. 
  Species Z and BC have the same amino acids. In test #( ) we translated the mRNA bases to find the amino acids in the protein. We found that both BC and species Z have the same amino acids. This means they both plant species produce the same protein.
   Another test we did to see if species Z is closely related to BC, was paper chromatography. We had put a sample of each species and botana curus on the paper and put the bottom of it in a cup with a very small amount of water. We left it there so it can separate the pigments of each sample. Species Z and BC had the same pigment and pigment separations. 
   All three tests proved that Botana Curus and species Z are related. Now we can use species Z and botana curus to get curol.
