Question

Strains of an organism can always reliably be identified using RFLPs (restriction fragment length polymorphisms).

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While RFLPs were once a commonly used method for identifying strains of an organism, newer and more advanced methods such as PCR and DNA sequencing have largely replaced RFLP analysis due to its limitations in terms of time and cost. Additionally, RFLP analysis can produce inconsistent results due to variations in the size and number of restriction fragments.
