VAMPIRE BATS Vampire Bats have a particular protein that allows them to digest blood. Without this protein, the bats cannot technically be “Vampires.”

Part of gene for the correct protein reads:

DNA: T A C G G G C C C
RNA:
Proteins:

After being exposed to toxic, radioactive chemicals, the bat experiences a mutation in the DNA. The cell containing this DNA quickly replicates. These cells have the following DNA making up the gene

DNA: T A C G G C C C C
