Q. With reference to the CRISPR Cas9 technique, consider the following statements:
1.In CRISPR, the RNA molecule is known as ‘guide’ which is made to be attached to certain DNA basis.
2.Cas9 works as an enzyme helping to cut the DNA.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation: Both Statements are correct
Statement 1 is correct: CRISPR is the DNA-targeting component of the system, and it is made up of an RNA molecule, or ‘guide,’ that is engineered to attach to certain DNA bases via complementary base-pairing.
Statement 2 is correct: CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) is the nuclease component that cuts the DNA. It is an enzyme.
