Study on genetic variability of nerita sp. using RAPD-PCR technique

Abstract

The main objectives of this study are to assess the degree of polymorphism of Nerita sp. by using RAPD-PCR technique and to establish the genetic database on the genetic variability of Nerita sp. The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) in association with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used to examine the genetic variability and relationship among individuals within and between populations of Nerita sp. from Pulau Che Him and Pulau Semut, Setiu Wetland, Terengganu.
