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.

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.

Complementary base pairing.


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 is a stereotactic frame used for during a pallidotomy?

In order to precisely locate the GPi target, and to ensure the probe is precisely placed in the target, a "stereotactic frame" is used.


What oligonucleotide probe would best hybridize with the DNA sequence 5'-AAAAGGTTCC-3'?

3' TTTTCCAAGG 5' for a DNA probe; 3' UUUUCCAAGG 5'for an RNA probe.The reasons:1Paired nucleic acid strands are antiparallel, meaning that they run in opposite directions. So the 5' end of one strand is opposite the 3' end of the other strand.2Hybridizing follows base pairing rules: A pairs with T (in DNA) or U (in RNA), and C pairs with G.


What property of DNA makes hybridization between a labeled probe and a target gene possible?

Containing many nucleotides
