Question
What is a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)?
Solution
Step 1 of 2
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) are variations in the lengths of DNA fragments generated by restriction enzymes. These variations occur due to differences in the DNA sequence, specifically in the region where the restriction enzyme cuts the DNA.
