Questions: Which components of the cell membrane are being discussed in the article?
What is the purpose of the process or component in the article. It is to inform you about membrane fusion and how it works and affects the cell.
List three things you learned from the article in your own words. 1. I learned about membrane fusion and how it works. 2. I learned how membrane fusion can affect a cell. 3. I learned about some of the dideases that are cause by membrane fusion.
What impact would the absence of this organelle/process have on the cell? It causes the cell to mutate and spread very quickly. Membrane fusion is also how HIV is spreaded, because the cell mutates and spreads to othr parts of the body quick.

See-Thruogh Frog: No Dissection Necessary
Link: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/09/27/seethroughfrog_ani_02.html?category=animals&guid=20070927100000
Summary: Two frogs are crossed, and they both have recessive genes. The crossing led to the frog's offspring becoming transparent. The transparent frog can produce offspring that would be like their parent's traits. But they would die after being birthed.
Questions: What process is being used in the article?
What is the purpose of genetic engineering in this article? The purpose in this article is to clone two frogs with recessive genes.
List three things you learned from this article in your own words. 1. I learned how they cloneds the frogs. 2. I learned how the frogs came out (transparent) and why they came out that way. 3. I learned that the grandchildren frog could die after being birthed.
What impact would the absence of this process have on humanity? It would create different types of frogs, and some could be able to live and some would not because if the way they are made.
