You want to design a DNA probe used for hybridization to isolate a clone from a cDNA library. Which of the following concerns about DNA probe design is the most legitimate?

(a) You must be careful when designing your probe to take into account which DNA strand was transcribed in mRNA and choose a probe complementary to the mRNA. (b) You must be careful not to include any DNA sequences in your probe that are upstream (5?) of the AUG start codon. (c) You must make sure that all the DNA sequences in your probe lie within an exon, and do not span two exons. (d) You must make sure that all the DNA sequences in your probe are not located downstream (3?) of the polyadenylation signal.
