Biotechnology

It helps in identifying plant species only

It is used only for creating new medicines

It allows us to manipulate and understand genetic information, impacting agriculture, medicine, and more

It is mainly about studying animal behavior

To make the organism stronger

To make a gene inoperative to study its function

To increase the organism's lifespan

To create a new species

CRISPR sequences are only found in plants

CRISPR sequences help bacteria defend against viral infections

CRISPR sequences are used to make proteins

CRISPR sequences are not related to gene editing

Guide RNA (gRNA) can be manufactured to target specific genes

Cas9 nuclease can excise target DNA sequences

Gene editing can only silence genes, not replace them

A new DNA sequence can be inserted to replace excised DNA

Identify target sequence, manufacture guide RNA, introduce gRNA and Cas9, find target DNA, excise DNA, add replacement sequences

Manufacture guide RNA, identify target sequence, introduce gRNA and Cas9, excise DNA, find target DNA, add replacement sequences

Introduce gRNA and Cas9, identify target sequence, manufacture guide RNA, excise DNA, find target DNA, add replacement sequences

Find target DNA, identify target sequence, manufacture guide RNA, introduce gRNA and Cas9, excise DNA, add replacement sequences

They remain identical or very similar over long periods of evolution.

A change in their sequence would prevent survival, so mutations are not passed on.

They always mutate faster than other sequences.

Genes with high expression levels have less active DNA proofreading mechanisms.
