- What is the function of the CRISPR/Cas system? What are the ethical impacts of a technology such as CRISPR?arrow_forwardOne of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?arrow_forwardWhat are the components needed for the processes of transformation, conjugation, and transduction? How does each process occur? What genes are involved in each process? How do generalized and specialized transduction differ? What is the end result of each?arrow_forward
- What evidence demonstrates that CRISPR-Cas is an adaptive immune system defense against viruses?arrow_forwardHow does a host cell harboring a restriction enzyme protect its own DNA?arrow_forwardWith regard to the CRISPR-Cas system that defends bacteriaagainst bacteriophage attack, what happens during the adaptation,expression, and interference phases? When a bacterium is exposed toa particular bacteriophage, is the adaptation phase always necessary?arrow_forward

What mechanism does it employ to combine DNA? Explain the process of how the CRISP-Cas9 system is able to create recombinant DNA.
