1. Because parthenogenic snake offspring are half-clones of the mother, there is expected to be a major loss in genetic diversity in the offspring. Calvete et al. (2018) looked at venom, a complicated mix of proteins produced by several genes. Read over this article to answer the questions.
   1. What did they predict to see in the venom proteins of the offspring compared to the mother? Remember that hypotheses should be found at the end of the Introduction, right before the Methods. (1 pt)
   2. Name two methods they used to investigate venom (1 pt)
   3. What did they find about the composition of the venom and its function (how well it works on prey)? You can use the Abstract or Discussion sections. (1 pt)
