You are interested in using crispr to edit a particular gene in the genome. select the correct order of events that must occur to introduce a double stranded dna break using crispr/cas9.
1. small guide rna (sgrna) hybridizes with the target dna
2. cas9 cuts dna
3. cas9/sgrna complex binds pam sequence
4. sgrna binds cas9
5. cas9 unzips dna

4. sgRNA binds Cas9

3. Cas9/sgRNA complex binds PAM

5. Cas9 unzips DNA

1. small guide RNA (sgRNA) hybridizes with the target DNA

2. Cas9 cuts DNA

Explanation:

Background Knowledge:

Every cell in living body have genome (DNA). DNA is double helical structure which is held together by complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine always form pair with Thymine and Guanine always pair with cytosine. Researchers have identified thousand of genes that can cause disease conditions in our body. Changing these genes in our body is not easy but in today's world it is possible through technique CRISPR.

CRISPR:

This method is based on natural system used by bacteria against the DNA of bacteriophages by activating CAS9 protein which due to guide RNA recognizes the target DNA and cut it into pieces.

Mechanism of CRISPR:

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
