Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

CRISPR system was discovered by a Japanese scientist. Naturally bacteria and many other prokaryotes have CRISPR system in their genome which they use as a self defense against a pathogen which is invading them. It consists of inter spaced, short palindromic nucleotide repeats which encode a guide RNA (gRNA). This guide RNA (gRNA) recognizes the target sequence on the pathogen. The gRNA is followed by Cas9 enzyme which along with the gRNA plays a very important role in breaking genome of the pathogen. Once the target gene is cut down the rest of the DNA can be rejoined by non homologous end joining.

But nowadays, scientists are using this system for genome editing and incorporating desired gene between the two ends which are cut down by CRISPR Cas9 system.

forsale [732]

The type of selection which is likely to occur on the following phenotypes:

Stabilizing selection: grey fur

Diversifying selection: dark fur on island and light on another island. Dark fur in forests and light in fields

Directional selection: dark and light fur

When individual people with such character traits generate more surviving offspring than individual people with other characteristics, this is referred to as phenotypic selection. Although selection is widely regarded as the primary driver of evolutionary change, scientists have only lately started to quantify its effects in the wild.

Because phenotype influences differential reproduction and survivorship, selection acts on phenotypes. If the phenotype influencing reproduction or survival rates is genetically determined, selection can indirectly winnow out genotypes by winnowing out phenotypes.
