Which of the following statements is not true regarding the CRISPR system? The CRISPR region of bacterial genome has DNA from previous phage infections Transcription of the CRISPR region produces RNA that is processed into short RNA strands. The CRISPR-Cas system is a type of bacterial immune system against viral infection. Cas is a DNA sequence that directs the cutting of invading phage DNA.

Which of the following statements about bacterial genome is NOT true? A. Each plasmid contains an origin of replication that allows independent replication for its maintenance. B. In addition to a chromosome, many bacteria possess small extrachromosomal DNA called plasmids. C. All bacteria contain a single circular double-stranded DNA as their genome. D. Some bacteria may have linear chromosomes instead of a circular one. E. The F factor, which is important for bacterial conjugation, is found as a circular episome of E. coli.
