In Southern blotting, which molecule is being detected?

  • A RNA transcripts separated by gel electrophoresis
  • B Protein bands detected using a labeled antibody probe
  • C Specific DNA sequences
  • D Lipids extracted and separated by thin-layer chromatography

Correct answer: C. Specific DNA sequences

Explanation: Southern blot: DNA is separated by gel electrophoresis, transferred to membrane, then hybridized with a labeled DNA probe to detect specific sequences.

Concept context

Recombinant DNA, GMOs, PCR, CRISPR, and biotechnology applications. Growing importance in NEET.
