Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Segments of DNA capable of moving from one area in the DNA to another are called transposons. Base analogs are similar molecules to the nucleotides that make up DNA, intercalating agents are molecules that insert into the DNA helix, inverted repeats are sequences of DNA that are the reverse complement of each other, and mutagens are agents that cause mutations in DNA.
