CRISPR-Cas9 is a technology for:

  • A Amplifying DNA through repeated thermal cycles
  • B Gene editing (cutting specific DNA sequences)
  • C Separating DNA fragments by size in a gel
  • D Synthesizing proteins from an mRNA template

Correct answer: B. Gene editing (cutting specific DNA sequences)

Explanation: CRISPR-Cas9 uses a guide RNA to direct the Cas9 nuclease to cut a specific DNA sequence, enabling precise gene editing.

Concept context

Recombinant DNA, GMOs, PCR, CRISPR, and biotechnology applications. Growing importance in NEET.
