Question

In DNA fingerprinting, the DNA probe that is used is______ to the DNA sequence of the repeats in the sample.

A DNA probe is usually a small DNA molecule that is synthesized in the lab and which is labeled either with radioactivity or in some other way so that it is easy to detect. A DNA probe cannot identify a protein, but it can detect and identify the gene that codes for that protein.

So, supposed that you had cloned different pieces of human DNA into millions of different bacterial cells. You have no idea which of these cells contains the DNA coding for the insulin protein. If you

Answer 1

If you have a radioactively-labeled probe for the insulin gene, you can use that probe to show you which bacteria contain the insulin gene. The probe can base-pair with one of the strands of the insulin gene, and you can use that base-pairing ability of the probe to detect which cells contain that insulin gene.
