Question

A biological blot where RNA is the target for analysis. Both this technique and the one for DNA detection use electrophoresis (for separation) and detection with a hybridization probe. Developed by George Stark.

A) Western Blot
B) Southern Blot
C) Northern Blot
D) Eastern Blot

Answer 1

Northern Blotting is a technique that uses electrophoresis and detection with a hybridization probe to analyze RNA. It was developed by George Stark and is used to detect gene expression by transferring RNA fragments from a gel to a nylon membrane and probing them with specific labeled probe sequences.

Step-by-step explanation:

The technique mentioned in the question, where RNA is the target for analysis using electrophoresis and detection with a hybridization probe, is called Northern Blotting. It was developed by George Stark. Northern blotting is used to detect gene expression by transferring RNA fragments from a gel to a nylon membrane and probing them with specific labeled probe sequences.
