so i have to write a story about mating tomato cells and human cells, for my biology class...what?

Question

So what should I write about this? or well, how am i suppose to write this? Can cells even mate?!...Okay so maybe they can but why would that work? Please help!

Answer 1

OK you're a bio-geneticist and you've successfully grafted human genes into tomato embryos which grew into tomatoes with human traits. They could move about, make noise, eat with mouths (eat meat too) - but pollinated themselves through flowers - but their own offspring grew through their stems - like pregnant women.

Oh and they were hermaphroditic - and could self-pollinate.

these creations only lasted for 1 generation because the doubling of the genes brought about too many recessive traits - which manifested themselves in grotesque monsters albeit not very tall monsters) with hair and such and they couldn't reproduce past the first generation...

Hope this gets you started.

Answer 2

ever watched attack of the killer tomoatoes??? i'm pretty sure they were mutated not mated with human cells but it gives a good place to take the "effect" part of the paper
