MELANOGASTER, CATCH THE MUTANT FLY!

MELANOGASTER, CATCH THE MUTANT FLY!

I.E.S Benjamín de Tudela 2021-22

START

IT IS NOT THE MOMENT TO HAVE A REST!

THIS IS NOT THE PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY LAB!

YOU SHOULD FIND A MACROMOLECULE IN THE LAB TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE GAME.

AFTER YEARS OF ANALYSIS OF MUTATIONS, THE RESEARCHERS WORKING IN THE INSTITUTE OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY IN BARCELONA (IBE) HAVE LOST THEIR MEMORY. THEY HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY DROSOPHILA ENCEPHALUS, A MUTANT STRAIN OF THE FRUIT FLY THAT FEEDS ON HUMAN BRAINS AND HAS ESCAPED FROM THE LABORATORY. ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND AND NATURE FROM THIS THREAT! TO DO IT, YOU MUST CATCH THE MUTANT FLY.

BELOW THE TEST-TUBE RACK, YOU CAN FIND THE FIRST CLUE. YOU NEED TO ENTER THE IBE TO PASS TO NEXT LEVEL. THE CODE IS FORMED BY THE INITIALS OF THE GENETIC ENGINEERING TECHNIQUE USED TO CLONE A FRAGMENT OF DNA.

SECOND CLUE: THIS IS JOSEFA GONZÁLEZ'S LABORATORY, THE MAIN RESEARCHER OF THE PROJECT "MELANOGASTER CATCH THE FLY". SHE HAS FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT MAYBE SHE LEFT SOME INFORMATION IN THE LIBRARY. TO ENTER THE LIBRARY, YOU MUST TRANSCRIBE PROPERLY THE FOLLOWING FRAGMENT OF A STRAND OF DNA ON THE PIECE OF PAPER: 3' ATGC 5'

THE MUTANT FRUIT FLY IS NOT HERE!

WHAT WOULD YOU USE TO OBSERVE THE FRUIT FLY IN DETAIL?

REMEMBER THAT DNA IS A DOUBLE-STRANDED MOLECULE FORMED TWO COMPLEMENTARY AND ANTIPARALLEL STRANDS OF DEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDES.
