Mutations in the Galactose-1-Phosphate Uridyl Transferase Gene Can you use RFLP to identify this mutation?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mutation --It is an alteration in the sequence of  nucleotides in a genome of an organism , virus ,viral genome and extrachromosomal DNA  .

RLFP -- It is defined as Restriction Fragments Length Polimorphisms analysis can be used as form of genetic testing  to observe whether an individual carries a mutant gene for a disease which is running in the family , result from  variation in the DNA  sequencing recognized by restriction enzymes .,

Typically gel electrophoresis is used to visualize RFLPs .

Principle of RFLP ---One of the earliest molecular markers developed for genetic mapping the base is any genomic  DNA can be differentiated according to the presence or absence of restriction enzymes sites .

Use--In fingerprinting forensic uses RFLP analysis to identify suspect .

Paternity RFLP is used to determination for tracing ancestry .
