Chapter 11.11, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Transposable elements are known as stretches of DNA molecules and they can move from one place to another place within the genome. Generally, transposable elements are inserted into the other DNA material, for examples, the chromosome, the plasmid, and the viral genome. Transposable elements usually do not contain the origin of replication, therefore, they replicate within the host DNA into which transposable elements are inserted. When the host

(You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)
