specfic |\dna |\sequences |\in |\dna |\samples; |\as |\well |\as |\the |
concentration/intensity |\of |\each |\dna |\fragement |\of |\interest northern/southern |\blotting |\technique |- |\outline. |- |\CORRECT |\ANSWERS |\✔✔1. |\gel |\electrophoresis |- |\dna/rna |\is |\digested |\via |\restriction |
endonucleases |\and |\separated |\by |\size |\using |\gel |\electrophoresis |\

  1. |\separated |\fragements |\are |\trasnferred |\to |\a |\nylon/PVDF |\membrane |+ |\washed |\with |\blocking |\solution |\that |\woll |\reduce |\non-specific |
    binding |\
  2. |\membrane |\is |\washed |\with |\a |\radiolabelled |\probe |(or |\fluroscent |
