Please HELP I will give 85 points and Brainliest. Develop a logical argument about whether to use CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the human

genes that cause cystic fibrosis. Use the guidelines you created in Bioethics Part 1 and the things you have learned about genes and gene editing. Your argument can be for or against the approval of the gene therapy treatment. But, it must be backed up by the guidelines. If you feel like you need to change or modify any of your guidelines to support your argument, be sure to explain your reasoning.

Answer:

CRISPR-Cas9 is a DNA modification technique derived from a bacterial defense mechanism.

This breakthrough innovation allows the deletion and insertion of genes in a simple, fast and efficient way, much like "DNA scissors".

The CRISPR-Cas9 method is increasingly used in laboratories because it has several advantages over the DNA cutting enzymes developed before it.

First advantage, it is much easier to use (compared to other gene-editing tools). It has already allowed several teams of researchers to target several genes at once, including in human cells.

Other major advantages resulting from the simplicity of the system: its speed and its low cost. The CRISPR-Cas9 method takes only a few days (instead of a few months) and is at least ten times less expensive than those used before.

CRISPR-Cas9 is therefore a tool of disconcerting ease to modify the genome of many types of cells (to produce a protein for example), in bacteria, plants, animals and perhaps one day in humans.

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis?<br><br>​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen

Explanation:

A Stomata take in water,sunlight, and carbon dioxide and release oxygen  - this is false, the stomata are for gas exchange (taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen). They do not take in water and sunlight

B Phloem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight - this is false, while it is true that stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight. phloem does not transport water, that is the xylem.

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen - this is true. Stomata takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, and phloem transport the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant

D Xylem takes in water, sunlight and carbon dioxide and releases oxygen - this is false. Xylem does take in water, but not sunlight, carbon dioxide or oxygen
