What is complex transposons?
by being boss
Explain how transposons can generate genetic diversity?
Transposons help bacteria adapt to new environments, therefore generating genetic diversity.
What is the name for simplest transposable elements?
transposons
What is Barbara mcclintock's contributions to cytogenetics?
discovered transposons
Genes that can move about on the chromosomes sometimes creating mutations?
Transposons
What are transposons and how do they contribute to changes in bacteria?
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
How do individuals acquire mutations?
Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses,transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.
Transposons and their role in transgenic plants?
to produce a marker free plants
Jumping gene in maize?
transposable genetic constituents in maize or transposons.
Jumping genes that have the ability to move within and between chromosomes are called what?
transposons
What environmental factors could affect the genetic code?
Being exposed to environmental radiations and chemicals causes gene mutation. Viruses, transposons and errors that occur during meiosis (DNA replication) also affect the genetic code.
What are segments of DNA capable of moving from one area in the DNA to another called?
Transposons.
