Cloned genes are used as probes to detect the presence of its complementary DNA strand .

Probes are used in the detection of

If the sequence of bases in one strand of DNA is ATGACTGTC then the sequence of bases in its complementary strands is:

Among the two stands of DNA , the one that contains gene is called the coding strand. The other one, which is complementary to the coding stand, is called the template strand. The template strand directs the synthesis of complementary strand of RNA called the messanger RNA . This process is called

Now a days it is possible to detect the mutated gene causing cancer by allowing radioactive probe to hybridise its complimentary DNA in a clone of cells, followed by its detection using autoradiography because:

In the base sequence of one strand of DNA is GAT, TAG, CAT, GAC what shall be the sequence of its complementary strand -

If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATCGTATG , the sequence in the complementary strand would be

If the sequence of bases in one of the DNA strand is A G G A G A A, then the sequence of bases in the other complementary strand of DNA would be
