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 happens after a probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome?

Once the probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome, it will integrate with the host cell's DNA. The inserted DNA can potentially correct genetic mutations or provide therapeutic benefits by producing the desired protein. Monitoring the patient for any adverse effects or changes in gene expression is crucial post-insertion.

In an experiment a scientist makes a radioactively labeled probe using human DNA. She then discovers that the probe hybridizes?

to complementary sequences in the target DNA, indicating successful binding between the probe and specific regions of the genome. This hybridization confirms the presence of the corresponding sequences in the sample being tested. The labeled probe can be used to visualize or quantify the target DNA, providing insights into gene expression, genetic variations, or the presence of specific mutations in the sample.
