Solution
A probe which is a molecule used to locale-specific sequences in a mixture of DNA or RNA Mole cubs could be either RNA or DNA.
Explanation:
A probe is a single-stranded DNA or RNA molecule that has a radioactive molecule attached to it. Hybridisation techniques are employed to detect the complementary sequence.
