What is meaning of dna hybridisation??
Dear Student,
DNA hybridisation is a molecular biology technique in which single strands of DNA from two different sources (either two plant or two animal species) are allowed to anneal together to form a hybrid double stranded DNA. These complementary strands are bonded together by hydrogen bonds. After DNA hybridisation, scientists compare and analyse identical or related sequences of DNA molecules by examining complementary base pairs in the hybrid DNA. If two species are closely related, the number of complementary base pairs will be greater. So we can say that the degree of genetic similarity is directly proportional to the number of complementary base pairs formed.
Regards
