Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
Restriction enzyme digestion the DNA sample produces RFLPsand the DNA fragments are called RFLPs. RFLP analysis is used to identify the repeated sequences by detecting a specific sequence pattern to the Variable Number Tandem Repeats which becomes that individual's DNA profile. RFLP analysis is used as an important tool in genome mapping, localisation of genes for genetic disorders, determination of risk for disease, and paternity testing. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
