Question

Differenciate between CRISPR and GMO. [ minimum 5 points ] ​

Answer 1

Answer:

With GMO there is introduction of foreign genetic material from different organism hence referred to as transgenic or from same organism hence refere to as Cisgenic whereas with CRISPR/CAS9 involves changing/altering original base pair arrangements within the genome of an organism (in simple terms) hence there is no

Answer 2

CRISPR :

• clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats

GMO :

• genetically modified organism

With GMO there is introduction of foreign genetic material from different organism hence referred to as transgenic or from same organism hence refere to as Cisgenic whereas with CRISPR/CAS9 involves changing/altering original base pair arrangements within the genome of an organism (in simple terms) hence there is no introductions.

CRISPR is a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination".
