  1. Nick translation of DNA is a method for making DNA probes. Identify from below what is NOT required for nick translation method
    1. DNA polymerase ​​
    2. DNAase
    3. Primers
    4. ​Deoxyribonucleotides
Correct Option: C

This process is called nick translation because the DNA to be processed is treated with DNase to produce single-stranded “nicks.” This is followed by replacement in nicked sites by DNA polymerase I, which elongates the 3’ hydroxyl terminus, removing nucleotides by 5’-3’ exonuclease activity, replacing them with dNTPs. Thus primers are not required. ​
