The aquarium: jellyfish, octopuses, sea stars and the deep sea, sentence 15

Live lobsters are usually greenish brown and turn red only when cooked, because heat breaks down a protein that hides the red colour; a rare blue lobster, by a common estimate about one in two million, has a gene change.

Who acts: Live lobsters, heat, protein, rare blue lobster · What happens: be, turn, cook, break down, hide, have · To what, where: protein, red colour, gene change

This is a sentence of the lesson «The aquarium: jellyfish, octopuses, sea stars and the deep sea» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Live lobsters, heat, protein, rare blue lobster), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
