Draw a figure for the mode of transposition not shown in
Figure 15-8, retrotransposition.

excision (leaving) from the original location and inserting into the new location.
Excision from the original location Most transposable elements in prokaryotes
(and in eukaryotes) employ one of two mechanisms of transposition, called repli-
cative and conservative (nonreplicative), as illustrated in Figure 15-8. In the rep-
licative pathway (as shown for Tn3), a new copy of the transposable element is
FIGURE 15-8 Mobile-element
transposition may be either replicative or
conservative. See text for details.
