The narrator in Octavia Butler’s Bloodchild is a male adolescent named Gan, who lives in an alien planet that his ancestors settled in due to persecution. Prior to their arrival on this planet, the alien residents called the Tlic were on the brink of extinction, because of their inability to find a suitable host animal for their young. Therefore, the Tlic needed to use these newly arrived humans who they call Terrans. This is beneficial for the Tlic, because “Tlic from Terran bodies were always larger as well as numerous.” (Butler 18) However, this system is detrimental for the humans, since they are treated like animals who have to be constantly sedated with sterile Tlic eggs. These eggs also preserve youth, which is why Gan’s father had four…

This lab activity will go over environmental factors that affect the folded structure of proteins. We used a raw egg and noted the changes that happen when there were changes in temperature, pH levels, and salinity. Five eggs were cracked open and placed into different bowls with different solutions placed into each bowl. What we looked at was the process of denaturing of proteins seeing how it affected the composition of the raw egg between the yoke and white portion. My hypothesis for this experiment is: Solution 1 will case the egg to denature and separate, Solution 2 will stay original not break down, solution 3 will break down and denature, and Solution 4 form a solid, and last room temperature bowl will stay same no change.…
