Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method for changing the DNA sequence of a gene in its original location in the cell that uses RNA is known as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). Specifically, the CRISPR-Cas9 system uses a guide RNA (gRNA) to target a specific sequence within the gene, allowing the Cas9 enzyme to cut the DNA at that location and potentially replace it with a new sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is B for CRISPR.
