Probes that bind under very stringent hybridization conditions resulting in the differential binding over one nucleotide are called_______ .
A)generation- specific probes
B)allele- specific oligonucleotides ASOs 
C)VNTRs
D)short,variable repeats
E)microsatellites

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probes described in the question are known as allele-specific oligonucleotides (ASOs), which bind specifically to a particular allele or variant of a gene under very stringent hybridization conditions. This results in differential binding over one nucleotide, allowing for the identification of specific genetic variations. The other answer choices are not related to the description of the probes in the question.
