Question

Molecular probes used for identification of recombinant clone carrying the desired DNA insert can be a:
(i) Single stranded DNA segment.
(ii) Double stranded RNA segments.
(iii) Protein segments.
(iv) Denatured double stranded DNA segments.

• A. (i) and (iv)
• B. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
• C. (i) and (ii)
• D. (ii) and (iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i) and (ii)

Molecular probes are small DNA or RNA segments that recognize complementary sequences in DNA or RNA molecules that allow identification and isolation of these specific sequences from an organism.
