Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction
To explain: The consequences of applying the probe to the tissue sample before heating.
Introduction: Fluorescence in situ hybridization is a technique used to detect the particular DNA strands in a cellular sample. This is done with the help of fluorescent probes that bind to the parts of the DNA that shows a high degree of complementarity.
