Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique used to distinguish between DNA of different individuals in criminal investigations is restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). This technique involves cutting DNA into fragments with restriction enzymes and comparing their lengths between individuals. Gene cloning, hybridization polymorphisms, Southern Blotting, and genetic engineering are all related techniques but are not specifically used in DNA profiling for criminal investigations.
