Rabbit: Stage 1

Photograph of drawing created with bioluminescent bacteria. When the drawing is at its brightest in "Rabbit: Stage 1," you see the rabbit on the right and a rooster on the left. When some of the bacteria has died as in the "Rabbit: Stage 2" drawing, the rabbit is still on the right, but the rooster on the left has turned into a wolf.

Mother: Stage 1

Photograph of drawing created with bioluminescent bacteria. The mother is on the right facing her daughter on the left. Several mitochondria are pictured throughout the drawing. A mitochondrion is a compartment in your cells. You inherit half of your DNA from your main genome from your mother and half from your father. You inherit your entire mitochondrial DNA from your mother.  You have the exact mitochondrial DNA as your mother. On the upper right is the Japanese character for mother.
