What are non-autonomous transposable elements in Biology?
Non-autonomous transposable elements (TE) are mobile genetic elements. They are DNA segments that can move from one position to another in the genome. Nonautonomous TE's cannot transpose by themselves because they lack the transposase gene that autonomous TEs have. Nonautonomous TE's require autnomous elements to transpose, and their insertions are stable because they can't move by themselves - unlike autonomous TEs.
