Question
Pick the correct response(s), could be up to 3 of them.
8. CRISPR/Cas systems are important for host defense in prokaryotes. Which of the following are true for CRISPR/Cas systems?
a. Genetic information from prior gene transfer events is stored in the form of RNA in the host genome
b. Cas proteins use a single stranded RNA to identify target sequences
c. Cas proteins identify double stranded DNA targets
d. They can store genetic information from only one prior gene transfer event
e. Cas proteins identify RNA targets
Explanation / Answer
options B, C, E are correct.
cas protein use double-single strands our single- double strands.
cas proteins identify RNA and helps in defence system.
