Which of the following are encoded by the genes in Tn3 elements?
A) Transposase
B) Beta lacatamase
C) Resolvase
D) Transposase and Beta lacatamase
E) All of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tn3 elements encode for transposase, which is necessary for their movement within genomes; beta-lactamase, which provides resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics; and resolvase, which is involved in the resolution of cointegrate structures formed during transposition. Therefore, all of these are encoded by genes in Tn3 elements.
