In DNA hybridization experiments,DNA from two closely related organisms will show _____.
A)very little annealing
B)a high percentage of annealing
C)100% annealing
D)it is impossible to tell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA from two closely related organisms will have a high percentage of annealing because their DNA sequences will be more similar than if they were distantly related. Annealing is the process by which two complementary strands of DNA bind together, and the degree of annealing indicates the degree of similarity between the DNA sequences being tested. Therefore, a high percentage of annealing indicates that the organisms are closely related.
