Chapter 19, Problem 26CONQ

Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Analyze the following diagram and draw the end result of the recombination between the given sequences.

i) $\text{DR-1}$ and $\text{DR - 4}$

ii) $\text{IR-1}$ and $\text{IR-4}$

Introduction:

The transposons are mobile genetic elements which encode the enzyme transposes that can translocate the DNA sequence to a new site in the genome.

The direct repeats (DR) are the segment of the genome which involves the repeats of a specific sequence.

The term inverted repeat (IR) mentions to the single stranded sequence of nucleotides followed downstream by its reverse complement. The transposable element has inverted repeats at their end which is responsible for their movement within the genome.
