Nucleic acid hybridization is a common technique used in molecular biology.Which of the following procedures does NOT use this technique?
A)investigation of evolutionary relationships
B)examination of specific genes against a vast background
C)carrying out specific probe-based isolation of proteins
D)quantifying gene expression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleic acid hybridization is used to identify specific nucleotide sequences, and therefore cannot be used to isolate proteins through probe-based isolation. The other options, investigating evolutionary relationships, examining specific genes, and quantifying gene expression, all require the use of nucleic acid hybridization.
