How can an amino acid sequence be used to design a gene-specific hybridization probe?
A)A portion of a polypeptide chain can be synthesized based on the amino acid sequence of the full protein.
B)A protein can be purified,digested with proteases that cleave it at specific sites,and one of the peptide fragments can be used as a probe.
C)All possible nucleotide sequences that could encode a portion of the polypeptide can be synthesized and used as probes.

By synthesizing all possible nucleotide sequences that could encode a portion of the polypeptide, one can ensure that at least one of the sequences will hybridize specifically to the target gene, allowing it to be used as a probe.
