A) Southern blots
B) FISH

D) Northern blots
E) Western blots

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dot-blot arrays involve binding gene-specific nucleotide sequences to membranes in specific patterns, which can then be hybridized to radioactive or fluorescent RNA or cDNA preparations. This technique allows for the analysis of gene expression by detecting the presence and quantity of RNA or DNA.
