During library screening, PCR, Southern blotting, and other techniques, binding two pieces of DNA to each other by hydrogen bonding is called ________.
A) autoradiography
B) hybridization
C) DNA ligation
D) reverse transcription
E) polyadenylation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of binding two pieces of DNA to each other by hydrogen bonding is called hybridization. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Autoradiography is a technique used to visualize radioactive labels and is not related to the binding of DNA. DNA ligation is the joining of two DNA fragments and is not specifically related to the process of binding two pieces of DNA. Reverse transcription is the process of converting RNA into DNA and is not related to the binding of DNA. Polyadenylation is the addition of poly(A) tail to the 3' end of an RNA molecule and is not related to the binding of DNA.
