Ended up getting contaminated but at the same time we waited to long and this chuck is all of our cells which are dead sadly. We ended up gram staining to check out if there is any cell life in there. But when we looked it was just empty and dead sadly.
To create the Tauntaun harvest data, we need to simulate the Tauntaun population through time. We’ll set up a 10 year population simulation, where we will track the number of male and female Tauntauns separately in each time step (each year). Tauntaun life history has been well studied by biologists on the icy planet of Hoth, and it’s reasonable to assume that life history characteristics are the same in Vermont. Individuals can begin breeding at the age of 1, and produce approximately 2 offspring per year. Individuals that are 0 years old are called “young” because they cannot breed. One-year-old breeders are called “recruits” because these individuals have been recruited into the breeding population. Tauntauns that survive the harvest and the natural mortality period are able to give advance to the birthday again. On the birthday, the animals that were 0 years old are now 1, and they instantly give birth to ~ 2 offspring. The animals that were 1 years old are now 2, and they in...
