Question

Distinguish between retrotransposons and DNA transposons.

Answer 1

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETROTRANSPOSONS AND DNA TRANSPOSONS: ... Transposons simply cut and paste its DNA segment during transposition whereas retrotransposons produce RNA intermediate. The enzyme requires for transposons is “transposase” whereas for retrotransposons is “reverse transcriptase

Answer 2

Answer:

Retrotransposons can be e set up by copy and paste methodology. DNA transposon is not made from the copy and paste methodology.

Explanation:

DNA stands for dioxy ribonucleic acid. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. They both are necessary for the transfer of information from one generation to another generation. DNA is present in the nucleus of the cell. Segments of chromosome contains DNA which gets double during the time of cell division. DNA is made up of nucleoside base, sugars, etc.

Double stranded structure gives its the most stable state. Prokaryotic cell doesn't have double stranded DNA; therefore, it is not stable. Eukaryotic cells have double stranded DNA therefore there are more stable and advanced than prokaryotic organisms.
