Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insertion sequences are the simplest type of transposon, and they code for a transposase enzyme which allows them to move and insert into new locations in the genome. They also have an inverted repeat sequence at either end which is necessary for transposition. The other options (A, B, C, D) are either partially correct or irrelevant to insertion sequences.
