Which of the following is the best definition for CRISPR-Cas9 a system that cuts DNA in random places A system that uses small guide RNAs to bind target DNA and guide the sequence-specific cutting of target DNA a system that uses small guide RNAs to bind to target DNA and guide the random cutting of target DNA a system that uses small guide RNAs to insert DNA into target DNA sequences

The advantage of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing tool is: A. Cas9-mediated DNA breakage occurs for both chromosomes and thus it creates homozygotes quickly. B. Cas9 protein relies on a specific DNA (rather than RNA) as a guide to target gene sequence in the cell. C. Cas9 does not have any off-target concern. D. Cas9 can degrade RNA and protein.
