DNA Probe
A
The other side of a code for gene
B
An electric measuring tool
C
A short sequence of radioactive nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A probe is a single-stranded sequence of DNA or RNA used to search for its complementary sequence in a sample genome. The probe is placed into contact with the sample under conditions that allow the probe sequence to hybridize with its complementary sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gene probes are usually labeled with radioactive or fluorescent material. The radioactive tag allows the visualization of the DNA binding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Short-sequence DNA repeat (SSR) loci can be identified in all eukaryotic and many prokaryotic genomes. These loci harbor short or long stretches of repeated nucleotide sequence motifs. DNA sequence motifs in a single locus can be identical and/or heterogeneous.
