Question

For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once.

The technique of __________________ hybridization can be used to detect a specific RNA expression in a particular region of the brain. Northern blotting detects a specific sequence in__________________. Southern blotting detects a specific sequence in __________________.A short, single-stranded DNA is a(n) __________________. A piece of DNA used to detect a specific sequence in a nucleic acid by hybridization is known as a(n) __________________.

a-DNA polymerase chain reaction
b-in situ probe
c-in vitro RNA
d-oligonucleotide vector

Answer 1

The technique of b) in situ probe hybridization can be used to detect a specific RNA expression in a particular region of the brain. Hence, b) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The technique of in situ probe hybridization can be used to detect a specific RNA expression in a particular region of the brain. Northern blotting detects a specific sequence in RNA.

Southern blotting detects a specific sequence in DNA. A short, single-stranded DNA is a(n) oligonucleotide. A piece of DNA used to detect a specific sequence in a nucleic acid by hybridization is known as a(n) vector.
