Question

Properties of transposons?

Answer 1

Hey mate ^_^

=======
Answer:
=======

=> Transposons that replicate via  RNA intermediate are called retrotransposon.

=> No homology exists between the transposon and the target site for its insertion. 

=> The insertion of transposable elements invariably disrupts the integrity of their target genes.

Answer 2

$\underline{\underline{\Huge\mathfrak{Answer ;}}}$

Dear ,

Following are some properties of transposons ;-

1) They were found to be DNA sequences that code for enzymes which bring about the insertion of an identical copy of themselves into a new DNA site.

2) Transposition events involve both recombination and replication processes which frequently generate two daughter copies of the original transposable elements. One copy remains at the parent site while the other appears at the target site (on the host chromosome).

3) Since transposable elements carry signals for the initiation of RNA synthesis, they sometimes activate previously dormant genes. etc.
