Which one of the following is made up of radioactively labeled nucleotides?
Correct answer: D. Gene Probe
- A. Phage DNA
- B. Genomic Library
- C. Recombinant DNA
- D. Gene Probe
Explanation
A gene probe is a short DNA or RNA sequence that is complementary to a specific target sequence of DNA or RNA. Gene probes can be labeled with various markers, including radioactive nucleotides. The radioactively labeled nucleotides allow for the detection and visualization of the gene probe when it binds to its complementary target sequence.A gene probe is a short DNA or RNA sequence that is complementary to a specific target sequence of DNA or RNA. It is used to detect and identify the presence or absence of the target sequence in a sample.
