Document Summary
Crispr genome editing precise gene modification using the crispr/cas9 system: Fixing fertilized eggs: correction of a genetic disease in mouse via use of crispr-cas9, by zygote injection of crispr/cas9, mice carrying desired mutations can be generated in one step. Somatic vs. germline: somatic, body cells (soma=body, skin and muscle cells for example, dna does not get passed on to offspring, somatic cells are non-sex cells. Like skin, or muscle cells: germline cells, reproductive cells, sperm cells and egg cells, dna is passed to the next generation, germline cells are sex cells. Humanity"s top ten problems for the next 50 years: energy, water, food, environment, terrorism and war, poverty, disease, education, democracy, population. Emergent properties: result from the arrangement and interaction of parts within a system, characterize non-biological entities as well, ex. A functioning bicycle emerges only when all of the necessary parts connect in the correct way. Chemistry: the study of matter and t5he transformations it undergoes.
