Solution
A piece of nucleic acid used to find a gene by forming a hybrid with it is called a probe.
Explanation:
A probe is a small, single-stranded piece of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) that is labelled and used to detect the presence of a specific gene by creating a complementary hybrid with it. It aids in finding and localising genes during genetic analysis.
