View: https://youtu.be/InqWzcA2N-w Summarize the video’s content In two to three paragraphs, discuss – What are some potential positive and negative effects of CRISPR? -Who benefits from germ-line editing? -Define and explain the efficacy of germ-line editing on various types of gene therapy such as “single-gene problems” to —problems or diseases that have multiple genes affected. -If you can edit a specific gene, what other alterations can you possibly apply or create? -Argue for or against germ-line editing based on the following concerns: embryonic research -involvement of other factors from research to clinical trials -Involvement of other factors from research to clinical trials -What types of STEM professionals are needed to address this issue? -Describe how a STEM professional may address this issue

Week 7 Chapter 12 1. Describe the mode of transmission of neural impulses involved with the sensations of pain, vision, and hearing 2. Describe diagnostic tests and treatment strategies relevant to alterations in hearing, vision, and pain management. Chapter 13 1.Describe the role of the neuroendocrine system in the stress response 2. Analyze the mechanisms of impairment that can lead to altered hormonal and metabolic regulation. Chapter 14 Questions: What are the potential etiologies for altered reproduction function? How does altered reproduction function develop? Who is most at risk for developing altered reproduction function? How can altered reproduction function be prevented? Describe benign prostatic hypertrophy. Explain how benign prostatic hypertrophy could lead to cystitis and kidney damage. Identify the manifestations of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Chapter 15 Questions: Explain the differences between altered ventilation and altered diffusion. Give an example of each.

Two Seminar Reflections – Find scientific seminars on YouTube. They must be scientists presenting their original work and must be 40-60 minutes long each. Provide the link along with your submission. See reflection requirements by following the assignment submission links. After attending a biology seminar, please write a brief reflection. The reflection must include information about the talk and three (3) paragraphs: Title of the talk and complete name of the speaker One (1) paragraph summarizing the topic of the talk Another (1) paragraph reflecting on the good things the talk or the speaker had (design of the slides, organization, delivery, connection to the audience, etc.) A final paragraph reflecting on things that need improvement or things that you want to remind yourself to not do.

Do a domain architecture analysis on your assigned sequence using all programs posted in resources. 1. Show results from each program. 2. Generate your own consensus for the domain architecture based on this analysis. 3. Generate a final cartoon of the domain architecture of your protein ( draw by hand and take a picture OR use an editing software like word OR use ‘My domains’ – http://prosite.expasy.org/mydomains/, OR IBS – http://ibs.biocuckoo.org/online.php). 4. Discuss any unresolved issues or ambiguities remaining after completing the analysis. Sample analyses in 2 different formats are also attached from previous assignments. Note: These only include the results/analysis, not the discussion, citation, etc. Part B Write a formal methods section for your assignment. Example of how methods are written for computational biology papers was attached in the previous assignment and another example is attached to this assignment Don’t forget to cite your work for both Parts A and B. ABOVE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ASSIGNMNET FROM PROFESSOR, BELOW IS MINE: 1) I already did the table and the results, I also draw the cartoon but I am not able to do the analysis, method, discussion extra! 2) You don’t need to add any resources I will put down the links for the program s I used you only need to put them in an CSE citation format. 3) Professor posted PowerPoints about each program so I will upload these and you can use them to do analysis or discussion 4) I will upload the sample that she posted and another sample for my friend that didn’t get good grade so don’t follow any it’s just to give you an idea of how I want this paper to be. The websites I used for the graph and cartoon are: 1) SMART http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/ 2) Pfam http://pfam.xfam.org/ 3) CDD http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/cdd/cdd.shtml 4) Prosite http://prosite.expasy.org/ 5) Interpro http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/ 6) IBS – http://ibs.biocuckoo.org/online.php (For the Cartoon)

Any examples?Web 2.0 tools can be used as a tool to engage college students in their courses. Create a list of 10 Web 2.0 tools that you would consider using in your college classroom. Cite where the tool came from and give a 50-100-word description of what the tool is and how you would consider using it.

Answer the following TWO questions in 300 words or less. You may choose to divide the questions into two responses or fold the two questions into one essay response. Cite both our text and the Frontline piece OR the NYT piece about supplements in your discussion. INCLUDE A REFERENCE LIST in APA format1. What is your understanding of opinion and fact.  -How are opinion and fact about supplements explored in the Frontline or NYT piece?Choose ONE of Ruggerio’s 6 Key Principles for Thinking and explore how the scientists look at the issueOur skill sets as health professionals.-What is an issue that may come up in your current (or goal) health care profession area that could involve an issue of opinion/fact?-How do your clients/patients/customers rely on your judgment?

– Note that these are two different forms of skin cancer.  Discuss why basal cell carcinoma is common, while squamous cell carcinoma arises in a fairly surprising layer of the skin.

As a class,discuss why plants have two types of chlorophyll instead of just one.does this benefit them?What would you expect concerning the rate of photosynthesis for a plant that had only one type of chlorophyll?
