Question
Chapter 24, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason for the hope to use CRISPR for medical purposes by scientists should be explained.
Concept introduction: CRISPR is repetitive stretches of DNA found in bacteria and archaea. The DNA fragments of bacteriophages that infected the prokaryotes earlier contain these sequences. The DNA from similar bacteriophages during the time of infections can be detected and destroyed by them.

Read and internalize the short story below and answer the questions that follow. Complete solution is required.
“The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
On 30 January 2020, the Philippine Department of Health reported the first case of COVID-19 in the country with a 38-year-old female Chinese national. On 7 March, the first local transmission of COVID-19 was confirmed. WHO is working closely with the Department of Health in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.” Aki and her family were alarmed with the news they watched and so first thing in the morning they rush to the nearest convenient store to secure disinfectant and sanitizers but unfortunately the store already had empty shelves of the essentials they needed. They went to other stores searching and to their dismay they acquired nothing. They were on their…
