Hybridization between mature mRNA and DNA can identify introns in eukaryotic genes. When mature mRNA produced by the insulin gene is hybridized with denatured chromosomal DNA, which of the following will most likely be observed?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1.  Hybridization of mRNA would occur with random sections of chromosomal DNA.

  2. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur in a continuous stretch that is equal to the length of the mRNA.

  3. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur but with many single-stranded loops of DNA.

  4. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur but with many single-stranded loops of mRNA.
