To be frank, transposons effect genes when they move, or jump to a different location and cause mutations. If it doesn't cause a mutation, it inactivates the gene. For instance, in Indian Corn, some pigment genes are not expressed in some cells because they have been disrupted by jumping genes.
Hope that helped you finish your homework Bud!! =D
Exons are the expressed portions of pre-mRNA. In other words, exons ligated together make up mRNA that is translated in protein (this is in eukaryotes). Transposons are movable sections of DNA (jumping Genes) and can interrupt genes along the genome.

Transposons are the ' jumping genes ' that move from one place to another in the genome.
genetic drift is the change in genes due solely to chance.bottleneck effect and founder's effect are both examples of how chance effects the genes.
Crossing over can effect on more then one gene i.e. at least two as in crossing over the genes of homologus chromatin get interchanged so it effect at least two genes and can effect or change more then two genes depend upon the linking and crossing over capability
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.

Transposable elements are more complex than insertion sequences. In some bacterial transposons, the extra genes are sandwiched between two insertion sequences. Transposons may help bacteria adapt to new enviroments. =D... Hope this helps!!-AP EDITION BIOLOGY-CAMPBELL REECE

Transposons help bacteria adapt to new environments, therefore generating genetic diversity.

A jumping gene, also known as a transposon is a gene that can move around, and sometimes even jump to other chromosomes.
