Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The nucleic acid sequences which are used to precisely locate the complementary DNA sequence through hybridization are known as a genetic probe. To identify the presence of probe by autoradiography, they are radioactively labelled. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. So, the correct answer is option A.
