For todays question to solve: How do we edit a our dragon to be fire resistant? A tip: You would need to isolate the trait of fire immunity/ fire resistance. There are many ways to do this, primarily by selecting species that already have immunity/ great resitances to fire.
Let's first make it clear, by "Fire-resistant I mean the "dragon's" scales. Here's another hint: The scales of the komodo dragons and related to that of birds. They contain an organic protein called β-keratin. The cells that produce β-keratin are called keratocytes.
To have it fire resistant, we would need to make the β-keratin to be heat resistant, or add a coating of some kind 🤔 Ok, good luck! :)
