Re: Why would a comparison of the genomic and cDNA sequences ide

genomic DNA..actually genes have exons+introns...cDNA you get from mRNA(thus it contains only exons).If you mix genomic and cDNA and heat them..they will denaturate..then you lower temperature and cDNA will hybridize with genomic DNA on matching parts-exons..rest are introns...so points ...
