Biotechnology is used to decrease crop yield and quality
Biotechnology only focuses on creating new animal breeds
What is CRISPR technology and how has it revolutionized genetic engineering?
CRISPR technology is a type of computer software used for editing genetic codes.
CRISPR technology is a revolutionary gene-editing tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA.
CRISPR technology is a new form of exercise that has been shown to alter DNA in humans.
CRISPR technology is a type of cooking method used to prepare genetically modified foods.
What are the potential benefits of stem cell research in medical treatments?
Creating ethical and moral dilemmas
Causing genetic mutations and abnormalities
Regenerating damaged tissues and organs, treating diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's, and developing personalized medicine
Increasing the risk of cancer and tumors
Discuss the controversy surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells in research.
Embryonic stem cells have no potential benefits and only drawbacks
Ethical and moral concerns, as well as differing opinions on potential benefits and drawbacks
The controversy is only about the cost of using embryonic stem cells in research

CRISPR-Cas9 is a type of ________ system found in bacteria.
digestive
endocrine
circulatory
immune
CRISPR-Cas9 was discovered in which of the following organisms?
protists
fungi
bacteria
viruses
The enzyme portion of this complex is called ________.
CRISPR
Replicase
Lysozyme
Cas9
What type of RNA is used as a GPS of sorts, to find or locate specific genes?
mRNA
gRNA
tRNA
rRNA
What is the role of gRNA?
the cell recognizes that DNA is damaged and tries to repair it
ensures that the Cas9 enzyme cuts at the right point in the genome
use the DNA repair machinery to introduce changes to one or more genes
makes a cut across both strands of the DNA
