Practice question
Question
Based on equal probability of any base occurrence in a genome, what should be the minimum length of a probe to bind specifically on a single locus on a bacterial genome of 1 Mbp?
Explanation
This outcome reflects quantitative reasoning, where ratio, percentage and series logic determine correct calculation. Option C captures this correctly because it meets mathematical and logical criteria, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in aptitude and reasoning.
