A Scorpion primer
A) extends the DNA polymerase's range.
B) is directed at a specific DNA target sequence.
C) uses a single oligonucleotide to prime a specific sequence and to detect accumulated PCR product.
D) uses several oligonucleotides to prime sequences and acts as the beacon probe to detect hybrids.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scorpion primers are designed to be a single oligonucleotide that both primes DNA synthesis for a specific sequence and acts as a probe to detect the PCR product, making them highly specific and efficient for real-time PCR applications.
