The hills of Kentucky are dark and mysterious. Few outsiders travel through them. Families have lived there for generations, keeping the pioneering spirit alive in log cabins that they built with their own hands.

Rumors about such places are easily started. One such rumor is that there are blue skinned people living in Troublesome Creek. //It is not a rumor.// Blue skinned people have lived there for more than 150 years.


 * In this activity, you will research the molecular biology basis, the classical genetics and the resulting biochemistry of the condition.**

This is a project to launch us into the investigation of basic genetics!

You will answer the blog questions that are posted for each day, listed on the student blog page. Each day we work, a few *//but not all*// of you will be called on to answer our question of the day. Everyone will have a turn, so be sure to answer your questions with detail and care.
