Question
PCR and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism are the methods for:
Study of enzymes
Genetic transformation
DNA sequencing
Genetic fingerprinting
the technique of DNA fingerprinting involves the digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases (which creates restriction fragments) and the use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to increase the sensitivity of the technique. These methods are fundamental to identifying genetic differences between individuals, known as genetic fingerprinting.
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Molecular Basis of Inheritance. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.

Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable. Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repairing mechanism. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
