Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transposable elements are DNA sequences that have the ability to move around the genome. Their insertion into a gene can cause a mutation, leading to altered gene function or loss of gene expression. Additionally, transposable elements may activate nearby genes by disrupting regulatory regions or by providing alternative promoters or enhancers. Their movement can also cause genetic deletions by excising a segment of DNA. Therefore, all of the choices are possible effects mediated by transposable elements.
