The technique for visualizing large chromosomes using [³H] thymidine-labeled DNA on protein coated glass slides is called:
A) Pulse-field gel electrophoresis
B) Autoradiography
C) Viscoelastometry
D) DNA sequencing
E) RFLP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question stem involves labeling the DNA with [³H] thymidine and then visualizing the resulting autoradiographs on protein-coated glass slides. Autoradiography is a method of detecting radioactive isotopes in a sample by producing an image on a photographic film or plate. Therefore, choice B, autoradiography, is the best choice. The other options do not pertain to the described technique.
