Discuss briefly how a probe is used in molecular diagnostics.

Answers (1)

For molecular diagnostics: a single strand DNA or RNA is tagged with a radioactive probe. It is then introduced into the host cell and allowed to hybridize with its complementary DNA in a clone of cells which are formed in vitro. The cloned cells are then observed using radiography. This helps in detecting the problems.
