A radioactive probe is used to detect a specific gene mutation in a sample of cells. After hybridization, the sample is analyzed using autoradiography. Which of the following statements best explains why this technique is effective?
The radioactive probe binds to any DNA sequence in the sample.
The radioactive probe hybridizes only with the complementary mutated DNA sequence.
Autoradiography detects the mutated protein produced by the gene.
The radioactive probe binds to the mutated protein produced by the gene.
