Differences in DNA sequence on homologous chromosomes that can result in different patterns of restriction fragment lengths?
These differences are known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or insertions/deletions (indels), which can lead to variations in restriction enzyme recognition sites along the DNA sequence. This can result in different sized restriction fragments being produced when the DNA is cut with restriction enzymes, yielding distinct patterns on a gel during a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.
How are RFLP made?
A DNA sample is broken into pieces by restriction enzymes and the resulting fragments are separated according to their lengths by gel electrophoresis. RFLP analysis was the first DNA profiling technique inexpensive enough to see widespread application. But isn't as widely used now.
How are restriction enzymes used to look for differences between DNA samples?
Restriction enzymes cleave, or open, the DNA so that a sample can be taken and gel electrophoresis can separate the strands of DNA. From there, DNA probes bind to certain strands in each sample and DNA fingerprints can show the differences.
What type of enzyme is used to fragment dna?
Restriction enzymes are used to fragment DNA by cutting it at specific recognition sites. These enzymes are naturally found in bacteria as a defense mechanism against foreign DNA, and are commonly used in molecular biology techniques like restriction enzyme digestion.
What Is made during an RFLP analysis?
During an RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) analysis, DNA is digested with restriction enzymes, separated by gel electrophoresis, and transferred to a membrane for hybridization with a probe. The resulting pattern of DNA fragments of varying lengths is visualized to identify variations in DNA sequences between individuals.

What is the rflps?
Do you mean "RFLP" if so its, restriction fragment length polymorphism. (DNA analysis)
DNA moleule with length1800bp were treated with cutting enzyme Hae3 and two fragments were produced one a length of 1000bp so how many restricton sites for Hae3 exist inthis DNA and the length of seco?
the restriction endonuclease(HaeIII) has one restriction site on that DNA molecule. If one of the fragment is 1000bp long then the length of other fragment should be 800bp.
What method is used to make DNA fingerprints?
A method known as RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis can be used to make a DNA fingerprint.
Why do the number of DNA fragments and the length of each fragment produced by RFLP analysis differ from person to person?
As the DNA fragments results from the action of the restriction enzymes and on the other hand mutations alter the sites where the restriction enzymes react therefore there is difference in number and of length of each fragment from person to person.

What is Amplified fragment length polymorphism?
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is a molecular technique used to analyze genetic variations in organisms. It involves creating a genomic fingerprint by digesting DNA with restriction enzymes, ligating adaptors, and amplifying fragments with PCR. AFLP is commonly employed in genetic studies, diversity assessments, and population genetics.

How are DNA from hair follicle and skin cell used to determine if they belong to same person?
DNA can be extracted from tissue, in this case, epidermal layers of skin (keratin doesn't have nuclei) or the hair follicle. The DNA is then amplified using a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to create many more copies of the DNA segments using special coding sequences called primers. The segments can then be digested with enzymes (restriction enzymes) to create DNA fragments. Differences in DNA sequences create different sized DNA fragments, which are then separated on a gel matrix using an electric current (electrophoresis). The pattern of different sized fragments is unique to an individual, somewhat like a bar code. Two similar fragment patterns are compared, and if similar suggest identity (RFLP - restriction fragment length polymorphisms). You increase the chances of proving identity between the hair and skin if many different restriction enzyme reactions are done showing similarity between many different fragment sizes.

How do tandemly arranged repeats affect the lengths of restriction fragments?
Tandemly arranged repeats can affect the lengths of restriction fragments by creating regions of DNA that are more susceptible to cleavage by restriction enzymes. When a restriction enzyme recognizes and cuts within these repeats, it can produce fragments of varying lengths due to the repetitive nature of the sequence. This can result in a complex pattern of fragments on a gel during restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, making it challenging to accurately determine the sizes of the fragments.
