In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism, orRFLP, is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a differencebetween samples of homologous DNAmolecules from differing locations ofrestriction enzyme sites, and to a related laboratory technique by which these segments can be illustrated. InRFLP analysis, the DNA sample is broken into pieces and (digested) byrestriction enzymes and the resultingrestriction fragments are separated according to their lengths by gel electrophoresis. Although now largely obsolete due to the rise of inexpensive DNA sequencing technologies, RFLP analysis was the first DNA profilingtechnique inexpensive enough to see widespread application. RFLP analysis was an important tool in genome mapping, localization of genes forgenetic disorders, determination of riskfor disease, and paternity testing.

The major nerves that leave brain should form a thick cord in the brain stem that called medulla oblongata. Medulla oblongata will pass a big hole in the base of the skull that called foramen magnum. Depends on what part the question asked(bone or tissue), it probably between those two options.

Your client's campaign is getting a lot of clicks, but the conversion rate is low. which approach could help improve your client

yuradex [85]

The answer would be: <span>Make sure the landing page is closely related to the ad
</span>
To have high conversion rate, the landing page should give an accurate advertising that closely related to it. Increasing the budget will increase the conversion number, but not the rate. Increasing the CPC bid or broaden the list of keyword won't increase the conversion rate either.
