Hybridization of mRNA with DNA can reveal which segment of the DNA are introns and which segment are exons. When the magnification is high enough to see the molecule, the introns appear as
1. Single stranded loops in a double stranded molecule
2. Separate fragments
3. Triple stranded nucleic acid molecules
4. Barr bodies
A piece of nucleic acid used to find a gene, by forming a hybrid with it, is called a
1. Probe
2. Vector
3. Restriction sequence
4. Retrovirus
