Design and analyze an experiment to test whether cells of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum aggregate with kin

Consider the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum as an experimental model for the evolution of social behavior. This organism is discussed in your text in Chapter 12 and on pp. 607-608 and in the study guide for the multicellularity/individuality lecures. Watch videos of slime mold aggregation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpdIvlSochk . Copy the link in your browser if it doesn't work by clicking on it.

Kin selection theory (inclusive fitness and Hamilton’s rule) provides the basis for predicting situations in which individuals will give up reproduction to help others reproduce. Note that the stalk cells in D. discoideum are giving up reproduction and helping the spore cells to reproduce. Note that slime mold cells aggregate to form fruiting bodies when they are starved. One prediction of kin selection theory is that individuals will aggregate and cooperate preferentially with genetic relatives. Using the steps below, design an experiment to assess whether slime mold cells aggregate preferentially with genetic relatives.

Assume in your experiment that you have two genetic clones that are unrelated to one another: genetic clone A and genetic clone B. In other words, the cells in genetic clone A are genetically identical to each other but unrelated to the cells in clone B. Likewise, the cells in genetic clone B are genetically identical to each other but unrelated to the cells in clone A. Imagine you can inject and thereby label cells with colored dyes: say a red dye and a yellow dye. Again, the hypothesis you wish to test with your experiment is that slime mold cells aggregate preferentially with relatives.

Look ahead to the last question in this section that gives a template for the bar graph in which the results of your experiment must be displayed. This should help you design your experiment. Remember to label your y-axis.

Hand drawn diagrams are fine so long as they are clear. Take a photo and upload it. Photos must be of high quality and readable.
