Using reverse transcriptase and mRNA transcribed from the human glucokinase gene , a researcher constructs a single-stranded cDNA. This cDNA will hybridize with which of the following sequences associated with the glucokinase gene ?

(A) An enhancer sequence
(B) An exon sequence from the coding strand
(C) An intron sequence from the template strand
(D) The promoter sequence from the coding strand
(E) The Shine-Dalgarno sequence from the template strand

  #2

Ans (E) The Shine-Dalgarno sequence from the template strand

  #3

My ans is (B) An exon sequence from the coding strand

My ans is also (B). The mRNA is a complement of the exon template strand, therefore identical to the exon coding strand. The cDNA is a complement to the mRNA, therefore it will hybridize to the expn coding strand. :shock:

answer is "B".why i don't know.
