report: PID22371-01
Background:
In
2025,
an
interstellar expedition to PID 2237101 is undertaken to the one planet in
the neighboring solar systems that has
a planet similar to Earth. Tarec Nor as
it is called, is the third planet of the
system, orbiting a solar body with the
standard stellar classification of G2V
(a yellow dwarf similar to that of
Earths own). You are among the other
researchers and scientists along on
the expedition which includes a group
of exobiologists and exobotantists
with expertise in biochemistry,
cellular biology, genetics and
evolutionary ecology (having taken
Bio1113 you are more then ready to
undertake this challenge).
On arriving, you find a biosphere
with many similarities to our own
earth; it is a rocky planet composed of
iron and other minerals; water covers
maintained. Further research has
suggested that all organisms on Tarec
Nor evolved from a single common
ancestor which had this now-called
5.
Your grades will be assessed on
the scientific plausibility of your
explanations (within the limits of
your knowledge) and effort.
WEAK efforts will earn you a 0.
MEDIOCRE efforts earn you a 5
