Answer:

Explanation:

Lets start with an explanation of cancer. Cancer is the uncontrollable division of cells. It is a genetic desease that is caused by changes in the genes that control cell division.

CRISPR can be used to combat these changes and change these cancers to be benign.

Answer:

CRISPR-Cas9, CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and Cas 9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9). CRISPR are the DNA sequences present in the genome of bacteria and archaea. Cas 9 is a caspase enzyme that is used to cleave the CRISPR sequence.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic technique that can be used to edit the genetic sequence of organism. This latest technique can be used to treat the cancerous cells. The genetic constituent of cancerous cells can be modified by this technique and used to treat the cancer diseases. The new drugs target can be discovered by using CRISPR-Cas9 technique.
