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]

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.

Why do you think our body cells are called basic unit of life?
densk [106]

Answer:

Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as yourself and other living things. The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life.

densk [106]

Answer:the following can be done to allow more NaCl to dissolve;

1.) heating the mixture.

2.) Addition of extra water to the solution.

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the polar water molecules are able to work their way in between the individual ions in the lattice. The water molecules surround the negative chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation. Now when the solution is heated, the rate of the dissociation between the two molecules increases leading to more dissolution of NaCl. Also in the absence of heating, more Water molecules can be added to the solution to decrease it's saturation thereby favouring the dissolution of more NaCl.
