RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Drone Technology Remote healthcare delivery requires a plan to incentivize medical professions to come to a particular location. In order to accomplish this some sort of infrastructure needs to be established, including basic medical tools and portable apparatus. Once the personnel and the minimal infrastructure is in place, the final component for the effective provision of healthcare is medication. Once a diagnosis has been provided and the population of a particular location

possible allowing control of the biological mechanisms present. Increasing the efficiency of the growth and maintenance of plants through gene modification could save vast amounts of money and resources. In this essay I will be discussing the recent developments in gene editing technology and their potential applications to plants and agriculture. The Basic Concept DNA codes for protein sequences. Proteins are crucial in all cellular activities and govern the phenotypes of organisms (Campbell et al
