Show Answer
Answer : c
Hints & Solutions
(c) A hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA of variable length which is used in DNA samples to detect the presence of nucleotide sequence (the DNA target) that are complementary to the sequence in the probe. The probe hybridize to single-stranded DNA whose base sequence allow probe target basepairing due to complementarity between the probe and target.
