The CRISPR system targets DNA sequences for precisely cutting DNA and then letting natural DNA repair processes take over.

<h3>What is the CRISPR system?</h3>

CRISPR/Cas9 edits genes by accurately slicing DNA, which is then repaired by the body's mechanisms. The Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA make up the system's two components. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which some bacterial species use as a component of their antiviral defenses. Co-founder Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier and a team of researchers figured out how to employ this technology as a gene-editing tool (Jinek, et al. Science 2012) An enzyme known as a CRISPR-associated (Cas) endonuclease that functions as a "molecular scissors" to cut DNA where a guide specifies RNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic informational molecule that most organisms use to store the "instructions for life". Living beings employ ribonucleic acid (RNA), a molecule related to DNA, for a variety of tasks, including carrying and reading the DNA "instructions." RNA molecules known as "guide RNA" (gRNA) attach to Cas9.

16. What finally caused scientists to accept the plate tectonic theory?
motikmotik

Answer:

A)Ocean floor evidence of sea floor spreading.

Explanation:

evidence pointing to the steps or process  of seafloor spreading and effective plate motion This theory was accepted by many scientist because  it depended  on hard evidence and could describe most of the modern geological structures such as ocean basins,

What is the tectonic theory?

The theory of plate tectonics plates  says  that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move to each other.

What is a tectonic plate?

They are huge slabs of rock that cover the earths mantle When a earthquake occurs that's because the tectonic plate is breaking  that makes the ground shake  During the earthquake and afterward, the plates keep on shaking until they are stuck again!
