Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. Transposable elements can insert into most positions in the genome, except for regions near the telomere, regions near the centromere, regions near sequences that code for ribosomal RNA, and inside another transposon. This is because these regions are important for maintaining the stability and function of the genome, and insertion of a transposable element could disrupt critical genetic functions.
