Which of the following statements about genome editing is incorrect? a. CRISPR recently becomes the most popular genome editing strategy because researchers only need to redesign a guide RNA that is specific to the target genome locus. b. A meganuclease normally only cuts a genome once because its recognition site is long. c. One set of zinc finger proteins needs to form a dimer with another set of zinc figure proteins in order to bind to the genome. d. For TALEN, FokI enzyme carries out the cleavage function, but the binding specificity is granted by the transcription activator-like effector. Six zinc figure proteins are needed to recognize an 18-bp target sequence.

Which of these statements is correct regarding the CRISPR/Cas9 system in eukaryotic cells? a. Single guide RNA (sgRNA) is used to target specific DNA sequences and activate Cas. b. Bacteriophages are used to inject viral genes into the cell to activate the Cas protein. c. CRISPR takes advantage of the cell's DNA polymerase proofreading activities for DNA replication errors. d. The CRISPR-Cas system can only be used to alter genomes in prokaryotic cells. e. Cas cuts directly into palindromic restriction sites that it targets in the DNA.

Which of the following statement is WRONG? A) Genomes contain more than just genes B) Organisms vary enormously in the size of their genome. C) Comparing genome sequences from different organisms can reveal life's common heritage D) In comparison to C. Elegans, human genome contains more nucleotide pairs so that human genome has more number of protein-coding genes

Which of the following statements about CRISPR-Cas9 is correct? A. It relies on the natural process of DNA repair. B. Regardless of the DNA target, the sequence of the guide RNA is always the same. C. Cas9 is only involved in recruitment of guide RNA to its target DNA. D. It is not precise enough to make a single base pair edit.
