Due Week 3 and worth 80 pointsAssignment 1 is the first phase of a project that you will complete, in stages, during the term. You willbegin by selecting a specific biotechnology that you would like to cover through the entire project. It canbe an established technology, such as genetically-modified crops, or an emerging technology, such asCRISPR. The choice of biotechnology is up to you, but consider selecting something that relates to yourmajor, career, or personal interests.CRJ students might consider an established or an emerging biotechnology for crime scene investigation.BUS students might consider a technology that will provide an opportunity to explore bringing new biotechproducts and services to market or the ethical considerations around marketing biotech to consumers.Choose one magazine or newspaper article that covers the specific technology that you will usethroughout the project. It must be a recent article (no more than four years old). For instance, if youchoose genetically-modified crops as your biotechnology, then you would need to select one recentarticle about genetically-modified crops for this assignment.Some biotechnologies that you may want to consider include: Genetically modified crop plants Genetically modified microorganisms (such as yeasts and bacteria for industry) Genetically modified animals Personal genomics for humans (also called personalized medicine or precision medicine) Gene therapy CRISPR Emerging forensic uses of DNA (such as facial prediction) Databases for DNA fingerprintingWrite a one to two (1–2) page paper in which you:1. Summarize the article in one (1) or more paragraphs, using your own words. Be sure to identifythe article using an in-text citation in the body of the paper, as well as a reference in the referencesection.2. Identify which biological concepts from the course and / or text are relevant to the topic covered inthe article. Citing the course text, discuss the ways in which this course does (or doesn’t) providebackground information to help you understand the article and the larger issues surrounding it.3. Explain why the article caught your attention. Relate the article to your life and to issues that areimportant to you. Discuss how or if the scientific knowledge about the topic covered in thearticle affects you directly or indirectly.4. Discuss your opinion on how research on this topic should be funded. State whether you thinktaxpayer monies should support research on this topic or whether such research in this areashould be funded by the private sector. Rate the importance of research on this topic, relative toother areas of research.In addition to the target article, you should use at least one (1) additional resource, such as yourtextbook or another article. Remember: an edited version of this assignment is going to be part of thelarger paper that you write at the completion of the project.You must have a reference section which contains an SWS reference to your chosen article and all othersources, if any. Additionally, you must provide in-text citations (in SWS format) to your references atappropriate places in the body of the text. Integrate all sources into your paper using proper techniques ofquoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing, along with your in-text citations. Double-space your paper. Usestandard margins and fonts. Also, follow any additional formatting instructions provided by your instructor.A large portion of the grading of this assignment is based upon the coherence, depth, and accuracy ofyour writing.Objectives evaluated by this assessment:1. Categorize a wide range of organisms, from single-celled to multi-celled organisms.2. Describe how organisms acquire and utilize both energy and material.3. Describe the cell cycle, cell reproduction, and control.4. Investigate DNA and gene expression as well as technologies based on our understanding ofthem.5. Discuss interactions between organisms in ecosystems.
