Mention 3 uses of DNA/RNA probe.
dear student
probes are single stranded DNA/RNA molecules of short sequences generally 15-20 base pairs.
These are mainly used in hybridisation experiments to identify complementary nucleotide sequences.

These are mainly used in hybridisation experiments to identify complementary nucleotide sequences.
uses :
- in hybridisation and blotting methods to find complementary gene
- to find genetic disorders like presence or absence of a specific gene
- in diagnostic test to determine whether a particular pathogen has infected someone or not
- used in forensics like during DNA fingerprinting
