Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Segments of eukaryotic DNA that can move or be copied from one site to another in the genome are called transposable elements. Exons are sequences within a gene that code for a protein or a functional RNA molecule. Plasmids are self-replicating circular DNA molecules often found in bacteria. Vectors are DNA molecules used in genetic engineering to transfer a gene of interest into a host cell.
