The Principle of Solid Support Hybridization (Often Called Blotting) Is

question 16

Multiple Choice

The principle of solid support hybridization (often called blotting) is:

• A)the target sequence is part of the liquid support, and the probe, which is attached to solid support, hybridizes to the target.
• B)all the target nucleic acids are gathered in one spot on the electrophoresis gel.Then all the probes are flooded in the same area and produce a blot of duplexes.
• C)the target sequence is part of the solid support, and the probe, which is in solution, hybridizes to the target.
• D)the probe is electrophoresed in agar, then transferred to filter paper.The antibody-based probe is then applied to the filter paper, and blots appear where there is binding.
