Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transposable elements are genetic sequences that have the ability to move (transpose) from one location to another within a genome. They are also commonly referred to as transposons or jumping genes. They can contribute significantly to genetic variation and evolution within a population. They are not found only in viruses, they can mutate, they are not rare, and they are not deleted in meiosis.
