Explanation:

Medical Genetics to find whether a person carries a particular gene or not...

Answer 2

Option (d) is the right answer

DNA probe is used for all the following purposes ,i.e, DNA finger printing , detection of pathogenic bacteria and in medical genetics to find out whether a person carries a particular gene or not.

- It's used in DNA fingerprinting method for analyzing and identifying the sample DNA which are sorted out by the method of agrose gel electrophoresis.

- It's used in the detection of foreign particles / bacteria so that they're not allowed to enter the human body.
