Create your own Greatest Showman performer!! (4pts/trait) Use the following chart to determine the traits that your showman performer will have. The DNA code for each trait is given, so you will need to go through the process of transcription and translation to determine what protein is being made and then match that with the corresponding trait. You may even include a picture of your creature if you are feeling creative!
