Understanding parameters


Let's use the Genetic Switch model to understand how different parameters affect behavior of a cell.

Follow the instructions below to get started:

Open NetLogo folder and click on NetLogo Logging.

Open the Genetic Switch NetLogo Model that you downloaded earlier.

Or click here to download the model.

 

Let's refresh our memory!

Let’s focus on these three parameters.

Explain how each parameter affects the model. What changes do you see in the model when you change the values of these parameters? Describe the changes in terms of the number of protein molecules, or DNA-protein interaction.
