Question

An RFLP marker that cosegegrates with a disorder exists in most people who have the disorder and is absent in most people who don't have the disorder. (True/False)

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

• RFLP stands for Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism.
• RFLP is a molecular method to analyze the genetic constituents that allow for the identification of individuals based on unique patterns of restriction enzyme cutting in specific regions of DNA.
• If an RFLP and a disease‑related gene are located near each other on the same chromosome, they will show linkage and segregate together.
