| RFLP |
Acronym for Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. This acronym is sometimes found on DNA sexing certificates. It is a description of the method used for sex determination. This method is based on the size of the genomic DNA fragment left after cleavage with an enzyme called a restriction enzyme that only cuts DNA within a specific sequence of nucleotides.

| RFLP |
Variation between individuals in DNA fragment sizes cut by specific restriction enzymes; polymorphic sequences that result in RFLPs are used as markers on both physical maps and genetic linkage maps. RFLPs are usually caused by mutation at a cutting site. See marker.
