AGRI 2213 Genetic Improvement of Plants & Animals Paper #4

Content AGRI 2213 Genetic Improvement of Plants & Animals Paper #4 This paper is on the CRISPR system of genetic engineering. You must cover 4 areas of CRISPR in your paper. Please use the subheading of each, prior to discussing each section. What is CRISPR? How CRISPR Works CRISPR in Humans CRISPR in Agriculture (in plants and animals) What needs to be included (at minimum) in each section: What is CRISPR? Background on the system, how developed and how it can possibly be used (now and in future). How CRISPR Works – describe the mechanics (in detail) of this system and how it cuts and edits genes; how it was developed. CRISPR in Humans – describe and give examples of uses in the human world. CRISPR in Agriculture – describe and give examples of uses in both the animal and plant world (in agri). Label each section with the above 4 section headings. Specific Requirements  Coversheet required (-10 if missing)  At least 4 pages (minimum) of essay in length, (max 6 pages). No more than 1.5 pages on each topic area  Four sources total, minimum (1 per subheading area with appropriate citations) • (-10 for citations). • 2 sources must be from 2020, 2021 or 2022. • Do not quote from sources, reword them in your own words. • MLA/APA are both acceptable, just be consistent in one style.  Papers should be typed, double spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. font (Arial).  Mandatory visit with a Writing Tutor (Learning Commons OR Writing Center via online).
