Explain why a probe will hybridize to a target gene but not to any unrelated genes?
We design probes to be specific so that they will hybridize only to the target gene but not to random, unrelated genes. A probe hybridizes to a sequences to which it is complementary to. Consequently, the longer the probe is, the more specific it will be.
Why does a probe hybridize to a target gene but not to any other unrelated gene?
Complementary base pairing occurs only between the probe and the target gene.

Which feature of DNA enables a single-stranded DNA probe to hybridize with a single-stranded target gene?
Complementary base
Which explains how a probe can find a single-standard target DNA gene?
The probe is the second strand of DNA that forms double-stranded DNA with the target gene.
What is a DNA probe?
A Gene Probe is a term used to label several techniques used to identify a Gene Loci. a gene probe is often a piece of genetic material, that mirrors the target gene, and is also 'tagged' with dye so it can be identified.
What allows DNA probe to find a Single-strand target Gene?
Complementary base pairing.
What property of DNA makes hybridization between a labeled probe and a target gene possible?
Containing many nucleotides
What allows a DNA probe to find a single-stranded target gene?
Diploid cells
What is a gene probe used for?
Eating a watermelon.
When a radioactive molecule is attached to a probe a site where the probe bound is its target can be identified because of what?
It Is A
What describes the structure form when a probe hybridizes to a gene?
A double-stranded DNA structure in which one strand is the probe.
