Question

The benefits of genome editing include (check all that apply)
A) studying the role a gene plays within an organism's genome.
B) being able to remove and replace a small section of nucleotides.
C) creating genes with enhanced characteristics.
D) being able to make many copies of a specific gene.
E) tagging DNA probes with fluorescent dyes.

Accepted Answer

Genome editing allows researchers to study gene functions (A), precisely remove and replace nucleotide sequences (B), and create genes with enhanced traits (C). Making copies of genes (D) and tagging DNA probes (E) are not direct benefits of genome editing.
