Question:medium

Which of the following is true regarding CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in crops ?

Show Hint

CRISPR-Cas9 is classified as a gene editing technology rather than genetic engineering (transgenics) because it can modify endogenous genes directly without leaving any foreign DNA behind in the final improved plant variety.
  • It involves the insertion of foreign genes into the crop's genome.
  • It can only be used to delete genes, not modify them.
  • It allows for precise and targeted modifications to a crop's DNA.
  • It is a new technology but not for use in crop improvement.
