∙ 14y agoThe term 'primer' is specifically for single stranded DNA molecules used in amplification by any DNA amplification techniques. Probes are for purely identification.

What is the difference between primer and promotor in cell biology?
Primer used in DNA synthesis; Promoter used in RNA synthesis.
What does DNA primase create?
DNA primase creates RNA primer. DNA primase is an enzyme and DNA polymerase uses the RNA primer to replicate ssDNA.
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What happens after a probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome?
The DNA probe binds to its mutated counterpart and destroys it.
Which explains how a probe can find a single-standard target DNA gene?
The probe is the second strand of DNA that forms double-stranded DNA with the target gene.

During DNA duplication primer called RNA primer why?
The initiation of the reaction is favoured energetically by formation of this RNA-DNA hybrid.This hybrid is more stronger than DNA-DNA hybrid
Difference between the DNA and RNA?
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells' DNA?
No difference
What does the synthesis of a new strand of DNA begin?
Following the initiation of DNA replication, the first step is the synthesis of a short RNA primer.
Could DNA be amplified with only one primer?
No because it changes letters so the primer will not be the correct match. They have to be different.For example, the original DNA strand is AATGCGTACTAGCTAGTCTTAGTC and the primer is TTACGC. There is no other match to the DNA strand so a new one will have to be used.
What describes the structure formed wjen a probe hybridizes to a gene?
A double-stranded DNA structure in which one strand is the probe.
What property of DNA makes hybridization between a labeled probe and a target gene possible?
Containing many nucleotides
