Recombinant DNA Technology
Some genetic diseases cannot be diagnosed by changes in restriction sites. Some of these can be detected by allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. These are

mutagenized copies of a gene
copies of the gene with an altered sequence so that a restriction site is inserted
PCR-amplified variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs)
short sequences that will hybridize only to a specific base sequence

transfecting embryonic stem cells with an altered gene sequence
infecting the mouse with a retrovirus
mutagenizing a mouse and selecting for mutant offspring

Which of the following is correct in terms of determination of location of genetic traits?

Protein-coding genes are always associated with a restriction pattern
Restriction sites allow DNAs to be digested
