Answer: To alter the genetic sequence of specific genes
Notes: Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 to alter photosynthesis for the first time. CRISPR, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a gene-editing technology enabling precise, quick, and affordable genetic modifications. Developed from bacteria's immune response to viruses, CRISPR/Cas9 can remove, add, or alter DNA sequences, correcting genome errors and regulating gene activity in cells and organisms.
