Question

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) ______.

Options

• can be subjected to gel electrophoresis

• are the basis for DNA fingerprints

• identify individuals genetically

• all of the above

Answer 1

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) can be subjected to gel electrophoresis, are the basis for DNA fingerprints and identify individuals genetically.

Explanation:

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) are variations in DNA sequence that can be detected using certain restriction enzymes. These enzymes recognise specific DNA sequences and cut them at those locations, resulting in fragments of varying lengths based on individual genetic differences.
