The correct answers are: the insertion of a DNA sequence into the targeted gene and deletions of the targeted gene
Cas9 is an enzyme endonuclease (which means it cuts nucleotides) that is part of the CRISPR-Cas9 complex- genome editing tool that can remove, add or alter sections of the DNA sequence.
Cas9 recognize the sequence that is going to be cut thanks to guide RNA- pre-designed RNA sequence complementary to sequence of interest. DNA repair machinery will try to fix the “damage” but it can add (insert) or delete some nucleotides.
The significant role of spore formation in the reproductive cycle of this bacterium would be to allow the bacteria to survive in extreme conditions. The spore formed is called an endospore which is a thick cover made of protein. These spores are mostly resistant to heat and chemicals which makes the bacteria survive in harsh conditions. Spores can only be destroyed by sterilization and it require very high pressures and very temperatures. In microbiology and medical settings, this process is usually done in a device known as the autoclave. Sterilization is a process that involves the killing of all microorganism in a system whether it is harmful or beneficial.
B plants Explanation I hope it’s right :)
Microtubule – serves as a framework of the cell –cytoskeleton.<span>
</span>
Nucleus – the control center of each cell. It regulates, monitors and organizes the whole cell<span>
Since the pictures isn't given I can assume that it can be the microtubule, the microtubule is responsible for maintaing the shape and structure of the overall cell. It maintains homeostasis by permanently aiding the framework of the overall cell.
If it is the nucleus, the control center of a cell. It does a lot of functions in the cell, it helps maintain homeostasis by sending commands that the organelles do, supply energy, excrete or digest waste, regulate the movement of objects and cellular respiration, even cell division. It sustains the cell to be functional and proactive at the same time reactive to situations that is likely to occur.

The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons the atom has.
So, we can write the equation as:
x + 20 = 40
x = 20 neutrons.
