Question

A correct pair of characteristics of molecular probe are:
a. Very long molecule
b. Double stranded
c. DNA or RNA
d. Complementary to a part of desired gene.

• A. a,b
• B. b,c
• C. c,d
• D. d,a

Answer 1

The correct option is C c,d

Molecular probes are small DNA segments (genomic DNA, cDNA or synthetic oligonucleotides) or RNA segments (often synthesized on DNA template) that recognize complementary sequences in DNA or RNA molecules and thus allow identification and isolation of these specific DNA sequences from an organism.

So the correct answer is option C.
