Hybridization simply means that DNA will re-nature and form a stable double helix only with its particular match, only with the hybrid that it is perfectly complementary, too.

核酸分子杂交表示,DNA在变性状态下可以恢复活性,和与其配对的单链形成稳定的双螺旋结构,只有在完全配对时才会发生这种情况

DNA is a double helix, you know this, the double helix was--the structure of DNA was discovered about the time that I was born you've always lived with it.

NA是双螺旋结构,众所周知,DNA的这种双螺旋结构,是在我出生的那个年代才被发现的,它就是你生命的一部分

If I'm talking about two DNA strands and they differ only in one or two base pairs they won't be exact complements and they won't form this double helix.

假设有两条DNA单链,有一两个碱基不能配对,它们就不能完全互补,也无法形成双螺旋形结构
