Hello,

I'm in freshman Honors Biology and we have been assigned an interesting but
odd question for our midterm paper.  We have to devise a way to use
biotechnology to increase the genetic diversity of cheetahs.  Or, if this is
impossible, then we have to describe what is wrong with the idea and why it
can't be used.  Is there a way to use biotechnology to introduce a gene that
is immune to a particular virus (cheetahs are very susceptible to FIP)??
If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, please help!   (we are
allowed to ask anyone's input except for someone in the class)

Thanks,
Ashley
