| Q.No. | Detailed Explanation on Each Option |
|---|---|
| 1 | a. Gene editing – This is the correct key feature of CRISPR-Cas9 technology. CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that allows precise modifications to DNA, enabling the addition, deletion, or alteration of genetic material at specific locations. It has revolutionized fields like medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology by providing a fast, cheap, and accurate method for gene manipulation. b. Protein synthesis – Incorrect. Protein synthesis is the process by which cells build proteins from amino acids using information from mRNA, involving ribosomes and tRNA. CRISPR-Cas9 does not directly involve protein synthesis; instead, it edits genes that may code for proteins. c. Vaccine development – Incorrect. While CRISPR technology can be used in research for vaccine development, such as editing genes to study immune responses or create better models, it is not a key feature. Vaccine development primarily involves antigens, adjuvants, and immunization strategies. d. Antibiotic resistance – Incorrect. Antibiotic resistance refers to bacteria’s ability to withstand antibiotics, often due to genetic mutations or gene transfer. CRISPR can be used to study or combat resistance, but it is not inherently a feature of the technology itself. |
