Transposons can:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transposons are mobile genetic elements that can insert themselves into DNA sequences, causing a variety of impacts on gene expression and protein function. They can interfere with transcription by their insertion into regulatory regions that control gene expression. They can cause a frameshift by inserting themselves into coding regions and disrupting the reading frame of the gene. They can also cause errors in mRNA processing by disrupting splicing sites or creating abnormal splice products. Therefore, all three choices are correct.
