Question

Difference between retrotransposons and dna transposons

Answer 1

Retrotransposons also move by a "copy and paste" mechanism but in contrast to the transposons described above, the copy is made of RNA, not DNA. The RNA copies are then transcribed back into DNA — using a reverse transcriptase — and these are inserted into new locations in the genome.
