Question

question 2 of 10 which of the following determines the specificity of a dna probe? a. level of enzymatic activity b. complementary base pairing c. number of neutrons d. type of radiation

Explanation:

A DNA probe works by binding to a specific target sequence through complementary base - pairing. Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). This specific base - pairing determines what DNA sequence the probe will bind to, thus its specificity. Enzymatic activity, number of neutrons, and type of radiation are not related to the specificity of a DNA probe.

Answer:

B. Complementary base pairing
