C) is used on the DNA of organisms that have two sets of chromosomes
D) provides fewer genetic markers than classical genetic techniques

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) is a technique used to differentiate between individuals of the same species using variations in their DNA sequences. It is particularly useful in organisms with two sets of chromosomes (diploid organisms) because it can detect variations in homologous chromosome pairs. This technique is not limited to prokaryotic DNA, can be used on DNA containing introns, and provides more genetic markers than many classical genetic techniques due to its ability to detect polymorphisms at the DNA level.
