Describe different modes of communication that cells utilize and give examples of how they use them to achieve a “target” form.

Review the article entitled “Designing Life” ( See pdf document below) and summarize your understanding of the article in essay form (600 – 1000 words, in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format) addressing the following prompts: 1. Define synthetic morphology. Give some examples of how scientists are envisioning application of synthetic morphology for useful purposes. 2. How do cells produce order and form as a multicellular organism grows and develops? Describe different modes of communication that cells utilize and give examples of how they use them to achieve a “target” form. 3. Briefly describe how stem cells differentiate into specialized cells. How can cell reprogramming be used to “retrain” cells into different morphologies? What are some potential uses for this? 4. How is synthetic morphology different than traditional assembly of mechanical structures (e.g. a LEGO toy). Give some examples of morphological engineering accomplished by researchers to date. 5. Based on what you have learned in this article, how would you envision the next advance in synthetic morphology (let your sci-fi fantasies loose in imagining novel forms of life!). Also discuss if there any ethical issues involved when creating such new forms of life. my professor didn’t specify which writing format so MLA should be fine
