8 1.) How could a protein be mislabeled, absent, or disabled as explained in the article? 2.) Can scientists add a gene in order to change the protein that allows monkeys to see certain colors? 3.) What do you think might happen to you if you were inserted with another gene (beyond seeing color) that allowed you to see something you couldn t before? Do you think your brain could handle the change? Think of the mantis shrimp.
