. What is the full form of RFLP?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Restriction enzymes are the endonucleases that cleave DNA specific locations. random DNA mutations change the restriction sites in the genome of organisms. Therefore, restriction digestion of DNA of different organisms of the same species produces restriction fragments of different lengths. This is called restriction fragment length polymorphism.
Step 2
The restriction fragments produced by digestion of DNA of two or more organisms of the same species are observed for their length polymorphism. This reflects the evolutionary closeness of the organisms of the same or different populations.
