Question

The genetic relatedness between organisms can be identified by studying the band patterns when different PCR products are analysed electrophoreically. This method is called as ____________

(a) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)

(b) amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)

(c) random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)

(d) polymorphism

I have been asked this question in examination.

Query is from Applications topic in chapter Polymerase Chain Reaction of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)

Best explanation: The genetic relatedness between organisms can be identified by studying the band patterns of different PCR products. This process is termed as random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD).
