Explain the mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9 system.

• CRISPR-Cas9 system targets RNA sequences instead of DNA sequences

• Cas9 protein is not involved in the CRISPR-Cas9 system

• The CRISPR-Cas9 system uses a guide RNA to target specific DNA sequences and the Cas9 protein to cut the DNA at that location.

• The CRISPR-Cas9 system uses a guide RNA to repair DNA damage

What are the potential benefits of gene editing with CRISPR?

• Causing more genetic disorders

• Potential benefits include treating genetic disorders, creating disease-resistant crops, and developing new medical treatments.

• Reducing crop yield

• No impact on medical treatments
