Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA labeled with a tracer that can hybridize with a nucleotide sequence of interest.

Answer: A
 A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a variation in a single nucleotide that occurs at a specific position in the genome.

Answer: B
 A cloning vector is a DNA molecule used to carry foreign genetic material into another cell, where it can be replicated and/or expressed.

Answer: C
 DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent nucleotides in DNA, which is essential for the joining of two DNA fragments during cloning.

Answer: E
 A genome is the complete set of genetic material (DNA or RNA) in an organism, including all of its genes and non-coding sequences.
