CRISPR is a modern technology used for precise DNA editing.
(a) Explain the role of the following in this technology:
• Guide RNA
• Cas9 enzyme
(a) Explain the role of the following in this technology:
• Guide RNA
• Cas9 enzyme
Show Hint
Remember: Guide RNA = GPS (finds the location), Cas9 = scissors (cuts the DNA). Together they enable precise gene editing.
