Her Genomau'r Corachod

Mae rhywbeth rhyfedd yn digwydd yng ngweithdy Siôn Corn...

Mae gan bob corrach god 5-llythyren arbennig (sef eu genom) sydd wedi'i wneud o'r llythrennau A, C, T, a G. Mae'r cod hwn yn penderfynu sut olwg fydd arnynt - patrwm gwrido eu bochau, eu gwallt, lliw eu llygaid, eu haeliau, a hyd yn oed lliw eu croen.

Ond eleni, cafodd y codau eu cymysgu, ac mae angen eich help chi ar dîm Siôn Corn er mwyn datrys y sefyllfa.

Byddwch chi'n cwrdd â grŵp o gorachod, cewch wybod am ymddangosiad y corrach a beth yw ei god. Eich swydd chi yw darganfod:

Pa ran o'r cod sy'n rheoli pa nodwedd

Beth mae'r gwahanol lythrennau'n ei olygu i'r nodwedd honno

Ac yn olaf... datrys cod y corrach dirgel!

Mae'n bos rhesymeg â thema Nadoligaidd. Defnyddiwch eich sgiliau ditectif, cymharwch y cliwiau, a dadgodio genom y corrach cyn i'r sled hedfan i ffwrdd!

Mae gennym enghraifft o chwe chorrach a'u genomau nhw, isod.

Corrach â brychni, croen gwyn, llygaid glas, gwallt du, ac aeliau lliw arian

Genom = AATAT

Corrach â brychni, croen brown, llygaid gwyrdd, gwallt gwyn, ac aeliau porffor

Genom = CCAGT

Corrach â phatrwm gwrido troellog ar eu boch, croen brown, llygaid gwyrdd, gwallt glas, ac aeliau porffor

Genom = CCCGG

Corrach â phatrwm gwrido streipïog ar eu boch, croen glas golau, llygaid melyn, gwallt gwyn, ac aeliau glas

Genom = GTACC

Corrach â phatrwm gwrido crwn ar eu boch, croen gwyn, llygaid du, gwallt coch, ac aeliau porffor

Genom = TAGGA

Corrach â phatrwm gwrido crwn ar eu boch, croen gwyrdd golau, llygaid du, gwallt glas, ac aeliau lliw arian

Genom = TGCAA

Gan ddefnyddio'r wybodaeth hon, allwch chi roi'r cod ar gyfer y corrach canlynol?

Corrach â phatrwm gwrido streipïog ar eu boch, croen gwyrdd golau, llygaid glas, gwallt coch, ac aeliau du

Elf Genome Challenge

Something strange is happening in Santa's workshop...

Every elf has a special 5-letter code (their genome) made from the letters A, C, T, and G. This code decides what they look like - their blush pattern, hair, eye colour, eyebrows, and even their skin tone!

But this year, the codes got mixed up, and Santa's team needs your help to sort them out.

You'll meet a group of elves with known codes and clear traits. Your job is to figure out:

Which part of the code controls which feature

What each letter means for that feature

And finally... crack the code of a mystery elf!

It's a logic puzzle with a festive twist. Use your detective skills, compare clues, and decode the elf's genome before the sleigh takes off!

The Puzzle:

We have six examples of the new codes, and the resultant elves displayed below.

An elf with freckles on their white skin, blue eyes, black hair, and silver eyebrows

Genome = AATAT

An elf with freckles on their brown skin, green eyes, white hair, and purple eyebrows

Genome = CCAGT

An elf with a spiral blush pattern on their brown skin, green eyes, blue hair, and purple eyebrows

Genome = CCCGG

An elf with striped blush patterns on their pale blue skin, yellow eyes, white hair, and blue eyebrows

Genome = GTACC

An elf with a circular blush pattern on their white skin, black eyes, red hair, and purple eyebrows

Genome = TAGGA

An elf with a circular blush pattern on their pale green skin, black eyes, blue hair, and silver eyebrows

Genome = TGCAA

Using this information, can you determine the code for this elf?

An elf with a spiral blush pattern on their pale green skin, blue eyes, red hair, and black eyebrows

Walk-through

You need to identify the five traits that change and all four possible versions (one for each of the letters of A, C, G. and T).

Below are the five features that change:
- Skin Colour: White, green, blue, or brown.
- Blush Pattern/Face Markings: Freckles, spirals, circles, or stripes.
- Eye Colour: Blue, yellow, black, or green.
- Hair Colour: Blue, white, black, or red
- Eyebrow colour: Silver, purple, blue, or black.
The elves with the genomes of AATAT and CCAGT - as highlighted, share one section of code. Therefore, they must have one trait in common - their blush pattern/facial markings. This tells us that the fifth letter of the code controls this trait.
The elves with the genomes of CCCGG and TAGGA - again, share one section of code. This tells us that the fourth letter determines the colour of their eyebrows.
To calculate what the third letter controls we can look at the elves with the genomes of CCCGG and TGCAA. The only trait they share is hair colour.
By looking at the elves with genomes of TAGGA and TGCAA we can identify which trait the first letter controls. They may share two sections of code, but we already know that the fifth letter controls the blush pattern/face markings.
This means the second letter must control the fifth listed trait.
Now, you have identified which trait each section of the code controls.
So, to write the genome for the mystery elf we need to match the code sections with other elves that share the same trait.

However, the mystery elf is the only one with black eyebrows - there is no-one to match it against. Instead, it must have a letter different to all the rest.
- First letter: Eye Colour - A
- Second Letter: Skin Colour - G
- Third Letter: Hair Colour - G
- Fourth Letter: Eyebrow Colour - T
- Fifth Letter: Blush Pattern - G
