Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) is the term used to describe DNA fragments produced by enzymatic cleavage at specific recognition sites. RFLP analysis is a technique used in molecular biology and genetics to detect variations in DNA sequences.

Answer: D
 A probe is a labeled nucleic acid molecule used to detect specific DNA sequences. A probe can be used to detect RFLPs in DNA samples.

Answer: E
 An amplicon is a DNA fragment that is amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR is a technique used to amplify specific regions of DNA, creating millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence for analysis.
