One major difference between DNA and retrotransposons is that
A)During transposition retrotransposons go through an RNA form that is copied back into DNA
B)During transposition DNA transposons go through an RNA form that is copied back into DNA
C)In humans DNA transposons are the only type of transposons that move
D)DNA transposons are bordered by poly-A tracts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrotransposons undergo a process called reverse transcription, where their RNA is converted back into DNA and integrated into the host genome. In contrast, DNA transposons excise themselves from their original location and directly move to a new genomic location without going through an RNA intermediate. The other options are incorrect statements about transposons.
