Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transposons are DNA sequences that can move from one location in the genome to another, often by a cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste mechanism. They can insert into intergenic regions or disrupt genes by inserting into coding sequences, leading to mutations. Transposons are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and have important implications for genome evolution and genetic diversity.
