Correct statements about RAPD’s

A. RAPD polymorphism is detected by using oligonucleotides usually more than 10 bases long of random sequences as primers in a reaction.

B. In a strain which has in genomic DNA sequences complementary to the primer oligonucleotide, PCR products will be detected in the gel,

C. Typical RAPD markers show limited variation between parents, especially in naturally inbreeding species.

D. RAPDs are more sensitive than RFLPs to experimental conditions making them more difficult to be consistent and reproducible.

The two cleavage reactions required to generate the miRNA from these primary transcripts are mediated by two distinct RNases. A characteristic of both these enzymes is that they recognize and cleave RNAs on the basis of the structure of their substrates rather than their specific sequence. Which of the following statement is INCORRECT regarding the cleavage reactions that produces a mature RNA?
