Define the functions of retrotransposon.
Answers
Retrotransposon. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Retrotransposons (also called Class I transposable elements or transposons via RNA intermediates) are genetic elements that can amplify themselves in a genome and are ubiquitous components of the DNA of many eukaryotic organisms.
Hola mate..
Retrotransposons represent a highly unique group of transposable elements and form large portions of the genomes of many eukaryotes (organisms with cells containing a clearly defined nucleus). Retrotransposons function by a “copy and paste” mechanism.
Thus, they leave behind the original copy and generate a second copy that is inserted elsewhere in the genome. This process results in the insertion of repetitive sequences of DNA throughout the genome and is the mechanism responsible for the vast spread of transposable elements in many higher organisms.
Hope this helps u dude
