What is a drawback of CRISPR?
Sometimes it finds genes that look very similar to its target and cuts them, too.
Circular, double-stranded DNA molecules in bacteria, often carry useful genes, such as those involved in antibiotic resistance, virulence and bioremediation.
PLASMIDS
Dolly the sheep was the first cloned mammal ever to be created from an adult cell. Affectionately named after country music legend Dolly Parton, Dolly caused excitement and controversy among both scientists and the public.
Why do they picked Escherichia coli?
E. coli is a model microorganisms.
It can be cultivated easily
Explain how CRISPR would contribute to stop antibiotic resistance
Cas system could be utilised as an antimicrobial to kill specific bacterial genotypes.CRISPR remove bacterial strains that carry genes, including those determining drug resistance, from populations and to re-sensitise bacteria to antibiotics by selectively removing AMR-encoding plasmids.

Medical technology has made use of the natural light-up ability of some creatures (like fireflies) for everything from tests to imaging scans. What is the term for the chemical reaction that happens between an enzyme called luciferase and oxygen?
