Flashcards Listing

: a genome engineering technology based on mobile genetic elements that consists of a protein and an RNA or DNA template to effect a therapeutic change

: the accumulated hours of cool winter temperatures that certain fruit and nut trees need during dormancy to prepare for flowering and fruiting in the spring and summer

: protecting, maintaining, or improving people's health before they get sick by providing interventions targeted to pre-disease states for those that are seemingly healthy but at risk

: the trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa, and fungi, that are found within and on the human body

: the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and people

: a level of intelligence that surpasses the existing intellect of both humans and nature and leverages the full spectrum of human scientific knowledge and the adaptive intelligence derived from nature's evolutionary processes

: the use of vast computational power to create biological designs with desired properties by inferring the principals of biology from large datasets

: environmental factors that negatively impact plant health

: nature-based sustainability initiatives upstream or downstream of a company’s operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage, enhancing the carbon emissions reduction capacity of a supply chain

: the study of genetic variation found within each cell of a multicellular organism

: an RNA molecule that decodes mRNA and transfers the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain

: growing practices that protect, maintain, and enhance ecosystems
