A geneticist wants to see if her patient has Gene X. The geneticist takes a blood sample from her patient and prepares a southern blot. How will the geneticist know if her patient possesses Gene X?

A radioactive probe, which is complementary to Gene X, will bind to the membrane.

A radioactive probe, which has the same sequence as Gene X, will bind to the membrane.

A radioactive probe will be absent from the membrane.

A southern blot cannot confirm if the patient possesses Gene X.
