What does RFLP stand for
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism
What is the purpose of RFLP in DNA analysis
To analyze DNA by comparing fragment lengths
What are restriction sites?
Short DNA sequences (4-8 bases) recognized and cut by restriction enzymes
Where are restriction enzymes naturally found?
In bacteria, like EcoRI in E. coli
Why might multiple enzymes be needed to differentiate DNA samples?
If one enzyme cuts both DNA samples the same way, another enzyme at a different site may help differentiate them
What is the advantage of focusing on the intergenic region in circular DNA analysis
It can provide more clear information for DNA analysis
Why are humans considered diploid?
They have 2 copies of homologous chromosomes for each gene
