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.
