Answer:

CRISPR Used To Edit Genes Inside A Patient With A Rare Form Of Blindness

and what CRISPR is is s a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea.[2] These sequences are derived from DNA fragments of bacteriophages that had previously infected the prokaryote. They are used to detect and destroy DNA from similar bacteriophages during subsequent infections. Hence these sequences play a key role in the antiviral (i.e. anti-phage) defense system of prokaryotes.[2]

Diagram of the CRISPR prokaryotic antiviral defense mechanism[3]

The CRISPR-Cas system is a prokaryotic immune system that confers resistance to foreign genetic elements such as those present within plasmids and phages[4][5][6] and provides a form of acquired immunity. RNA harboring the spacer sequence helps Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins recognize and cut foreign pathogenic DNA. Other RNA-guided Cas proteins cut foreign RNA.[7] CRISPR are found in approximately 50% of sequenced bacterial genomes and nearly 90% of sequenced archaea.

The correct answer is letter A. both are single cells that carry out the functions of life. Eukaryote has have a true nucleus containing their DNA and it is closely bounded with a cell membrane. Prokaryote does not have a nucleus.
