What are some of the reasons why the development of​ CRISPR-Cas may be the technical breakthrough that will make gene therapy a safe and more common treatment for many genetic​ conditions (select the four correct answers)?

2. “F# Types Game”: Give the type inferred for each of the following expressions:   (a) [“COP4555”] :: [ ];;   (b) let f x (y, z) = if x = 0 then [ ] else y::z;;   Next give expressions that have each of the following types (hint: pay attention to the type to figure out an expression):   (c) int * string -> int  -> string list   (d) (‘a -> ‘a list) list

5. Given recursive function: f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2) + 100, when n >1, and f(1) = f(0) = 1. What is its time complexity?
