A radioactively labeled probe is made by attaching a radioactive isotope to a nucleic acid molecule, such as DNA or RNA, which is complementary to the target sequence of interest. This is typically done by incorporating the radioactive nucleotide during the synthesis of the probe or by labeling the probe post-synthesis through various chemical methods. The choice of isotope, such as phosphorus-32 or sulfur-35, depends on the specific application and detection requirements. After labeling, the probe can be used in techniques like hybridization to detect specific nucleic acid sequences in various biological samples.
What else can I help you with?
In an experiment a scientist makes a radioactively labeled probe using yeast DNA she then discovers that the probe hybridizes to a small segment?
In the experiment, the scientist uses a radioactively labeled probe derived from yeast DNA to identify complementary sequences in a sample. The probe hybridizes to a small segment, indicating that this segment contains sequences complementary to the yeast DNA. This hybridization suggests a potential relationship or functional similarity between the yeast DNA and the target segment, which could lead to further investigations into gene function or evolutionary relationships. The results can provide insights into genetic expression or regulatory mechanisms in the organism being studied.

You briefly expose bacteria undergoing DNA replication to radioactively labeled nucleotides when you centrifuge the DNA isolated from the bacteria the DNA separates into two classes one class of la?
The DNA separated into two classes: labeled DNA and unlabeled DNA. The labeled DNA contains the radioactively labeled nucleotides that were incorporated during DNA replication, while the unlabeled DNA represents the original, non-radioactively labeled DNA from the bacteria. The centrifugation process separated the DNA based on density, with the heavier labeled DNA migrating to a higher position in the centrifuge tube compared to the unlabeled DNA.
Cells of the pancreas will incorporate radioactively labeled amino acids into proteins?
ER golgi vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane
Using radioactively labeled DNA probes in studies of heredity makes it possible for scientist to do what?
Study the inheritance of traits that are not seen as a phenotype
What are radioactively tagged bacteriophages to discover that DNA not protein is injected into host cells?
Radioactively tagged bacteriophages are used to confirm that DNA, not protein, is injected into host cells during infection. The radioactively labeled DNA can be detected inside the host cells after infection, providing evidence that DNA is the genetic material transferred by the bacteriophages. This experiment was crucial in establishing DNA as the genetic material in organisms.
What is a probe made out of?
a probe is made of medal and other equipment. :}
What of the following reactions is used to radioactively label DNA?
The reaction that is commonly used to radioactively label DNA is the nick translation method, where a DNA molecule is treated with a DNA polymerase, dNTPs (including radioactive ones), and a DNAase to create radioactive labeled DNA fragments.
