A Simpler Guide to CRISPR, One of the biggest stories of the decade

What are ways that scientists have used CRISPR? reduce severity of genetic deafness treat sickle cell anemia in humans alter mushrooms wipe out malaria spreading mosquitoes What is the worry about using CRISPR on human cells? there are no concerns inadvertently trigger cancer CRISPR can be analogous to a human's digestive system respiratory system immune system Bacteria use the CRISPR spaces to do what? create restriction enzymes store the pieces of viruses extra nuclear DNA the genes found in the CRISPR spaces can be analogous to a human's antibodies skin cells. heart the enzymes that are produced after a primary viral infection for a bacteria are known as: restriction enzymes ribozymes Cas9 how can a scientist fool the Cas9 protein? an artificial code that the protein will look for and cut. tell the restriction enzyme to cut once the Cas9 gene cuts out the specific segment, what is used to insert the new gene? repair enzymes CRISPR Cas9 by 2018, how many refinements to CRISPR are there? less than 17,000 more than 17,000 Describe the benefits to the following: Modifying crops(produce like corn, apples etc) to be more nutritious Describe how CRISPR can be used in New tools to stop genetic diseases Describe how CRISPR can be used in new antibiotics and antivirals do you see any ethical dilemmas involved CRISPR? Describe how CRISPR can be used in creating designer babies.
