- A Leucocytes
- B Platelets
- C Serum
- D Erythrocytes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Leucocytes
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Leucocytes,
In genetic fingerprinting, the 'probe' is a radioactively labelled single-stranded DNA molecule that is used to detect specific DNA sequences in a sample. The probe hybridizes with complementary DNA sequences on a blot, allowing for the identification of particular genetic markers.
