DNA Probes Are Often Synthesized Based on Knowledge of the Protein

question 2

Multiple Choice

DNA probes are often synthesized based on knowledge of the protein produced by a gene.What might be a potential problem of synthesizing DNA probes in this manner?

• A)The deduced DNA probe would be missing introns associated with prokaryotic genes.
• B)Because codons in DNA are redundant,knowing which codon to assign an amino acid may be difficult.
• C)The deduced DNA probe would be missing introns associated with eukaryotic genes.
• D)Because codons in DNA are redundant,knowing which codon to assign an amino acid may be difficult,as well as the deduced DNA probe would be missing introns associated with eukaryotic genes.
• E)None of the answer options are correct.
