Which of the following is the correct expansion of CRISPR?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct expansion of CRISPR is clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. Option A is not a correct expansion of CRISPR, as it does not accurately reflect the function of the repeating sequences. Option C is similar to the correct expansion, but it includes "short portions of RNA" instead of "short palindromic repeats." Option D is also incorrect, as it adds the term "RNA" where it does not belong.
