Why don't retrotransposons get smaller evrey time they insert into DNA?

Very high transposition is danger for genom. Because, the function of genom bereaks down.Both transposons and genom itself don not want it. Therefore, Transpozsons replicate themselver before methylation of DNA. after DNA replication, DNA is methylated. replication of transpositin occurs until methylation of DNA
