D) plasmids.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mobile DNA refers to DNA sequences that can move or transpose within the genome, such as transposable elements. Introns are also present in many genes, but they are not considered mobile DNA. Linear chromosomes are the standard form of chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells, but they are not typically considered mobile DNA. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the chromosome, but they are not typically considered part of the mobile DNA fraction of the genome.
