    What is RFLP?

    A technique used to analyze genetic variation by cutting DNA with restriction enzymes and comparing the sizes of the resulting fragments.

    What does RFLP analyze?

    RFLP analyzes genetic variation within a population by examining differences in the length of DNA fragments after cutting with restriction enzymes.

    Which process is used to generate RFLP?

    Southern blotting is a technique used to transfer DNA fragments from a gel onto a membrane for detection and analysis.

    Study Notes

    RFLP

    • RFLP stands for Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism
    • RFLP analyzes genetic variation in DNA sequences by identifying differences in the length of restriction fragments
    • The process used to generate RFLP is DNA digestion with restriction endonucleases, which cut DNA at specific recognition sites, resulting in fragments of varying lengths.
