To identify VNTR, a radioactive probe specifically designed to target the variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) region should be used. The probe should be complementary to the repeat sequences within the VNTR region to achieve accurate and specific hybridization with the DNA samples under study. Techniques such as Southern blotting can then be used to detect the presence and length variation of VNTR alleles in the DNA samples.

When a radioactive molecule is attached to a probe a site where the probe bound to its target can be identified because?

It's radioactive. Cameras which sense the radioactivity can then produce an image of the area. Some are very highly detailed, such as a thallium scan of the heart; some are less so, such as gallium and indium scans. For plato, the answer is A


What are Radioactive strand of RNA or DNA that are complimentary to specific targeted clone fragments and are used to identify a particular fragment in a large population of clones?

These are called probes. They are labeled with a radioactive element and designed to bind specifically to the complementary sequence of the target clone fragment. By detecting the radioactive signal emitted by the probe binding to the target fragment, researchers can identify and locate the specific clone of interest in a large population.


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.


Which space probe carries a radioactive fuel kwown as plutonium?

Voyager, Cassini, New Horizons, etc. In this case plutonium is not a nuclear fuel but a thermal source.


How does recombinant DNA technology identify the position of a gene on a chromosome?

A probe may be used, a probe is a specific sequence of DNA tracked by using fluorescent dye. This probe, whose base pairs are known, can be added to another set of DNA. where this probe attaches (seen by adding fluorescent dye to probe), the DNA is seen to be complimentary. These probes have the ability to bond to single complementary strands of DNA from samples. This can be used to determine which chromosome and specific position on the chromosome is complimentary to the known probe DNA. this technique is important to identify abnormal gene sequences, by using thes abnormal probes to test for such genes which may be detrimental to human health. see: http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/biology/options/genetics/3060/genetics_974.html

Why is the hybridization probe said to be complementary?

The hybridization probe is said to be complementary because it is designed to bind specifically to its complementary target sequence in the DNA or RNA of interest. This complementary binding is necessary for the probe to accurately detect and identify the target sequence in a sample.
