A patient is admitted to the Emergency Department with thermal burns after a structure fire. The TBSA is 42%, patient weight is 102 kg. Per the fluid resuscitation guidelines of 2-4 mL/kg x TBSA, what is the minimum amount of IV fluid that the patient should receive in the next 24 hours? (Numeric answer only, no “mL.” Round to nearest whole number if applicable)

Answer the following questions about CRISPR/Cas9 using the information provided in class: a) What is the natural function of CRISRP/Cas and where is it found? (1 pt) b) Annotate the following diagram showing the engineered CRISPR/Cas9 system by filling in the missing information for the numbers in the table below (4 pts) Answer 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: c) Explain how the engineered CRISPR/Cas9 system differs from the natural system. Specifically, how the natural system was adapted for engineering purposes and what had to be done to get this bacterial system to function in eukaryotic cells? (3 pts) d) CRISPR/Cas9 typically generates short insertions and deletions at a target site via which repair target pathway in eukaryotic cells? (1 pt) e) Which mechanism would you need to exploit to achieve site-specific DNA insertion into a CRISRPR/Cas9 target site? Explain how this would work for replacing e.g. a gene or introducing a mutation. Can you think of a strategy to increase the efficiency that this will happen? (2 pts) f) What needs to be present in a bacterial cell for efficient DNA/gene insertion using CRISPR/Cas9? (1 pt) g) What does dCas9 stand for and give three different examples on how dCas9 is used? (3 pts)
