Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single-stranded DNA molecules that can bind to and be used to detect other DNA molecules are called probes. Primers are short nucleotide sequences used to initiate DNA synthesis during PCR. RFLPs (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms) and STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) are types of genetic markers used in DNA profiling. LINES (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements) are a type of transposable element in DNA.
