PCR and RFLP are the methods used for:

1. a) Study of enzymes
2. b) Genetic transformation
3. c) DNA synthesis
4. d) Genetic fingerprinting

Correct answer: d) Genetic fingerprinting

Solution

PCR makes many copies of specific DNA regions, and RFLP detects variation in restriction fragment lengths among samples. Together, they are used to generate DNA profiles for identification, which is genetic fingerprinting.
