talking about the Chinese taking that one single mutate gene out of the embryo and replacing it with a healthy unmutated gene. This is remarkable because with this discovery we can cure a lot of single gene diseases such as Huntington’s Disease‚ Cystic Fibrosis‚ Tay-Sachs disease‚ and breast cancer‚ these are a few examples of the single gene diseases that can be cured with this gene editing. Diseases that are not able to be cured by the replacement of these genes are the much more complex diseases that

Choice "C" is the best answer. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a disease where abnormal smooth muscle proliferation leads to progressive cystic destruction of the lungs. There is progressive decline of respiratory function with a typically obstructive pattern due to destruction of bronchioles. It is also characterized by pneumothorax and chylothorax due to obstruction of lymphatics. Multiple cysts are also typically present throughout the lungs‚ though this is often only evident on CT.

Enzyme Assignment Research SBI4U Test A2 Table of Contents 1. What are the function roles and biological significance of the enzyme? Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins‚ making it an enzyme known as protease. [1] It is one of the three principal digestive proteinases‚ the other two being pepsin and chymotrypsin. [9] Trypsin primarily hydrolyses peptides into smaller building-blocks‚ mainly amino acids (these peptides are the result of
