13) Match the correct fact to the correct biotechnology procedure. A) DNA probes; Used to identify genes in a DNA sample. B) Human genome project; A large scale effort to clone a human. C) Polymerase Chain Reaction; The last step of DNA fingerprinting. D) Plasmid; Special genes from an organism that will be placed in vectors to be cloned into new organisms.
A DNA probe has its main purpose to identify different DNA segments and strands while the Human Genome Project was the spearheaded by an organisation wherein the entire genome of a human being is mapped. On the other hand, the polymerase chain reaction is used to copy DNA segments while a plasmid is used to replicate chromosomes.
Answer:DNA probes; Used to identify genes in a DNA sample. DNA probes hybridize (match) the opposite code to a section of a desired gene. For instance, CCC would be a probe for a stretch of DNA that is GGG. This allows lab workers to find the gene.
