Answer:

a monocot

Explanation:

Monocotiledoneas are plants that develop from a seedling with a single cotyledon. That is why we can say that maize is a monocotyledon.

Monocotyledons and dicotyledons are two classes of vegetables that belong to the angiosperm plants (plants with seeds contained within the fruits) and also phanerogams (flowering plants), currently classified as magnoliophytes, gathering approximately 230 thousand species. Monocotyledons are plants that have only one cotyledon in the seed. Cotyledons are the initial leaves of plant embryos.

bonufazy [111]

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.
