A) Tropic level transfer efficiency is greater in aquatic ecosystem than terrestrial ecosystem  

B) Tropical forest herbivores have higher consumption efficiencies than grassland herbivores

C) Flow of energy and nutrient is rapidly in aquatic ecosystem than terrestrial

D) Production efficiency of higher tropic level is greater than lower tropic level

Restriction fragment length polymorphism denotes that a single restriction enzyme produces fragments of different lengths from the same stretch of genomic DNA of different strains of a species or from different related species. RFLPs are detected as follows:

i.  Large molecular weight genomic DNA is isolated from several strains or related species;

ii.  The fragments in these digests are separated through electrophoresis

iii.  These 'DNAs are then digested with a selected restriction enzyme

iv.  Exposed to a suitably radio-labelled appropriate DNA probe under conditions favouring DNA: DNA hybridization

v.  The resulting gel lanes are transferred and fixed to a suitable solid support and

vi.   The free probes are removed

vii.  The fragments to which the probe has hybridized are detected by filming them as distinct bands on a suitable photofilm through autoradiography.
