In the DNA finger printing process, the use of _ produces a distinctive pattern on autoradiography or X-ray film.
Correct answer: D. Probes for genetic markers
- A. Restriction enzyme
- B. DNA Ligase
- C. Macrosatellites
- D. Probes for genetic markers
Explanation
In DNA fingerprinting, probes for genetic markers are used to identify markers such as microsatellites and thus produce distinctive patterns on autoradiography and X-ray films.A single-stranded DNA or RNA fragment that is complementary to a specific target DNA or RNA sequence. Labeled with a radioactive or fluorescent tag, these probes are used to detect and identify that specific sequence in a sample through a process called hybridization.
