Finding and Evaluating Sources: Page 7th by Hayley Forys https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging Your group will be given a topic. Your job is to explore the internet and databases for 5 credible sources that encompass the breadth of discourse on this topic. You should use Ch. 18 and 19 in your textbook to find the best kinds of sources. When you've chosen a source, provide the title, author, date, and internet link in the column marked for your topic. Create a new note for each source you find. Once you have finished selecting your sources, make sure you know them well. You will present your findings to the class. After presentations, you will look at other groups' topics, discuss with your group the other groups' sources using pp. 430-1 and 433. Take into account how well each source matches the lists of credentials for good sources. Leave comments explaining why the source was or was not well-chosen, and then rate the source 1-5 stars. en-us 2018-09-19 02:10:20 UTC 2023-05-29 08:08:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png Definition zaccan7309 https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283599820 CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and it is a tool that's used to change any letter of an organism's DNA code.]]> 2018-09-19 18:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283599820 Definition https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283600590  Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals of an organism either naturally or artificially. In nature, many organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction. Cloning in biotechnology refers to the process of creating clones of organisms or copies of cells or DNA fragments. Although cloning has potential, currently, it is rarely ever successful. Only 2% to 5% of cloning experiments, an embryo is successfully created.  The egg usually doesn't accept cell or doesn't divide. ]]> 2018-09-19 18:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283600590 "What is CRISPR gene editing, and how does it work?" zaccan7309 https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283601373 Crosby, Merlin

[2]Cloning should advance unhindered because every American has a fundamental and constitutionally guaranteed right to re-produce (Robertson, 1994; Silver, 1997; Wolf, 1997). [3]Human cloning should advance because science must always be free to go where it wishes to go(Stolberg, 1998; Kolata, 1998).

This article comes from EBSCO and tells that CRISPR is an acronym for "clustered regular inter spaced short palindromic repeats" and is used to genetically modify the genetic makeup of someone. The biggest reason behind this science is to prevent illnesses such as cancer. It is still being perfected but has come a long way since its beginnings. CRISPR is a prevention method, not a cure to change something that has already happened, such as an identifiable trait before birth that signifies cancer in later life]]> 2018-09-19 19:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283617653 "On the road to synthetic life: the minimal cell and genome-scaleengineering" https://padlet.com/hforys/disparaging/wish/283617851 Mario Juhas

1 A veterinarian collects tissue biopsies from a dog. Cells from the tissue samples are grown in a nutrient-rich medium in a lab.
2 Egg cells are surgically collected from the ovaries of a surrogate female dog.
3 An egg cell's DNA is made visible by staining it with a chemical that glows under ultraviolet (UV) light. A fine needle is inserted into the cell to remove the glowing DNA.
4 A cell from the original donor dog is inserted into the egg cell. An electric pulse fuses the two cells together and another pulse starts cell division.
5 Once the egg begins to divide the embryo is transferred into the reproductive tract of a different surrogate dog.
5 If the pregnancy is successful, the puppy is born in about two months. The puppy will be genetically identical to the original dog, but it may or may not look identical
