Biology Question on Recombinant DNA technology and applications
Transposons are:
A
Housekeeping genes
B
Jumping genes
C
Transporting genes
D
Stationary genes
Answer
Jumping genes
Explanation
Solution
Transposons, also known as "jumping genes," are DNA sequences that can change positions within the genome, which can cause mutations or alter genome size. This mobility distinguishes them from other genes, allowing them to impact genetic variation.
