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?
a) the dna probe repairs the mutated sequence.
b) the dna probe binds to its mutated counterpart and destroys it.
c) the dna probe binds to the mutated sequence and flags the mutation.
d) the dna probe becomes an integrated part of the genome since it carries the complementary sequence to the mutated gene.
