This is because not all genes are expressed at the same time, so not all the proteins are present at a certain moment. The mechanisms that cell uses to control gene expression are called regulation of the gene expression. Thanks to regulation of the genes, cells have the ability to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products such as proteins. This property is important for the adaptability of an organism because it allows the cell to express protein when needed.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

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

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