Now a days it is possible to detect the mutated gene causing cancer by allowing radioactive probe to hydridise its complimentary DNA in a clone of cells, followed by its detection using autoradiography because:

mutated gene partially appears on a photographic film


Option: 2

mutated gene completely and clearly appears on photographic films


Option: 3

mutated gene does not appear on a photographic film as the probe has no complumentary with it.


Option: 4

A single stranded DNA or RNA, tagged with a radioactive molecule (probe) is allowed to hybridise to its complementary DNA in a clone of cells followed by detection using autoradiography. The clone having the mutated gene will hence not appear on the photographic film, because the probe will not have complementarity with the mutated gene.
