In gene tests for inherited colon cancer, scientists scan a patient's DNA sample for mutated sequences using short pieces of DNA, called probes. The sequences of the probes are complementary to the mutated sequences. What happens after a probe DNA is inserted into a patient’s genome?

Respuesta :

What happens is that the DNA binds to the mutated sequence and then flags the mutation! DNA probe doesn’t fix or repair mutated sequence nor incorporates it into its genome. It’s only job is to show if the mutation exist.
