As per our honor code, we are authorized to answer only four subparts of a question at a moment. So we are answering the first four subparts. Please re-upload the rest of the questions separately.

(1) - CRISPR Stands for "Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats? (2) CRISPR in a family of repetitive DNA reouences found in the Prokaryotic organisms. CRISPR seаuences are derived from the DNA molecules of the bacteriophage which had already infected the prokaryote. CRISPR technology is a powerful and very useful tool for the gene editing. By this technology Scientists can easily alter and modify the DNA sequences and the functions of a gene This technology has different applications including, treating and preventing spread of failed disease, correction of genetic defects, improving crops, etc. (3) - CRISPR technology have the potential that are beneficial for both the plants and animals. This technology can make plants resistant against climate change and grow in the harsh Conditions with better nutrient value, It can also make plants rexistant against diseases by fixing their gene mutations.

In animals, this technology can prevent animals from diseases and also help to reduce the Spread of diseases. trene editing Can also be done for the improvement of animal species. This is the potential of CRISPR technology to offer society. be (4) CRISPR and gene editing is very improtant for the scientists and our society too because with this technology Scientists can easily and Quickly target, Delete, and repair and mutated region of any gene that can be very useful in the medical field. fatal diseases can be diagnosed and a potential individual can treated before getting disealed (genetic disease) • There are some ethical issues also with CRISPR technology. These are concerns about the technical limitations and power of this technology. It includes possibilities of the limited on-target editing efficiency, inaccurate on/off tooget editing, and incomplete editing. Gene editing can also be harmful for the upcoming generation if there is no limited and legal will happen in future. mes
