Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a molecular technique used to identify variations in the DNA sequence among individuals. This method is based on the fact that the DNA can be cut into pieces by specific enzymes known as restriction endonucleases, which recognize and bind to particular sequences of nucleotides. The steps involved in RFLP analysis generally include: 1. **DNA Extraction**: DNA is extracted from the cells of the organism being studied.
