A researcher has discovered six new species of insects overseas and needs to transport them home. Some species will harm each other and so cannot be transported in the same container. Species A cannot be housed with species C or F. Species B cannot be housed with species D or F. Species C cannot be housed with species A, D, or E. Species D cannot be housed with species B, C, or F. Species E cannot be housed with species C or F. Species F cannot be housed with species A, B, D, or E.     Use graph coloring to determine the minimum number of containers the researcher will need to transport the insects.
