Restriction enzyme-generated DNA fragments of different lengths from the same region of the genome are called ____.
A) DNA elements
B) endonuclease sites
C) restriction sites
D) restriction fragment length polymorphisms
E) restriction elements

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) refer to variations in the length of DNA fragments produced by the action of restriction enzymes on different genomes. These variations are due to differences in the DNA sequence at the restriction sites, leading to fragments of different lengths when the DNA is cut.
