Consider the following statements about DNA Sequencing: 1. DNA Sequencing is used to detect the presence of a complementary sequence by hybridization with a nucleic acid sample. 2. DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence - the order of nucleotides in DNA. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence - the order of nucleotides in DNA.
- It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.
- The DNA base sequence carries the information a cell needs to assemble protein and RNA molecules.
- DNA sequence information is important to scientists investigating the functions of genes.
- DNA sequencing may be used to determine the sequence of individual genes, larger genetic regions (clusters of genes or operons), full chromosomes, or entire genomes of any organism.
- DNA sequencing is also the most efficient way to indirectly sequence RNA or proteins (via their open reading frames). In fact, DNA sequencing has become a key technology in many areas of biology and other sciences such as medicine, forensics, and anthropology.
- A DNA sequence that is used to detect the presence of a complementary sequence by hybridization with a nucleic acid sample is called Nucleic acid probes.
- These nucleic acid probes are used in DNA sequencing methods.
