Retrotransposons are subdivided into two categories: LTR and without LTR. Without LTR is also subdivided into two:LINE and SINE. We know that retrotransposons replicate themselves. However, Sıne have not got reverse transcriptase enzymes ,it doesn't repliate themselves without Line retrotranspozon.

Is retrotransposon and retroposon same?

No, retrotransposons and retroposons are not the same.Retrotransposons act like retrovirus RNA with the exception of their being unable to escape and infect other cells. Retrotransposons begin as an RNA sequence and encode for a reverse transcription to make them into a double stranded DNA fragment which can then be inserted into other sections of the genome.Retroposons are repetitive DNA fragments that have already been inserted into the genome. The difference is that the DNA has been reverse transcribed from any RNA molecule.In contrast to retrotransposons, the retroposons never encode reverse transcriptase. Which means they are not capable of autonomous transposition activity, unlike transposons.


Why is the halogen group fairly unusual?

It really isn't unusual....it is unique in that the elements have seven valence electrons and all are rather reactive; especially fluorine, which is the most reactive element.


Which is a major distinction between a transposon and a retrotransposon?

A major distinction is that transposons move within the genome via a "cut and paste" mechanism, while retrotransposons use a "copy and paste" mechanism involving reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons also contain a reverse transcriptase gene, which transposons lack.


How does ALU and CU work together?

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logic operations on data, while the Control Unit (CU) manages the flow of data within the CPU. The CU directs the ALU on which operations to perform and coordinates the fetching, decoding, and executing of instructions in a program. Together, the ALU and CU work in harmony to process data and execute instructions in a CPU.


What are the functions of cu and alu?

The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) performs arithmetic and logical operations on data such as addition, subtraction, AND, OR, and NOT operations. The CU (Control Unit) manages the execution of instructions, fetching them from memory, decoding them, and coordinating the ALU, memory, and input/output devices to carry out the instructions.

What is the difference between combinational alu and sequential alu?

There is one main difference between combinational ALU and sequential ALU. Combinational ALU depends only on present circuits, and sequential ALU depends on both the present and the past.
