Question
Chapter 15.5, Problem 4SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The similarities between bacterial IS (insertion) elements and transposons.
Introduction:
All organisms comprise segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which may move from one region to another within the cell’s genome. These movable sequences are known to be transposable genetic elements, simply called transposable elements. There are two kinds of TE (transposable element), namely DNA transposons and retrotransposons.
