Transposons can be used during which one of the following?
- Gene silencing
- Autoradiography
- Gene sequencing
- Polymerase Chain Reaction
Solution
Transposons are a group of mobile genetic elements that are defined as a DNA sequence. Transposons can jump into different places of the genome; for this reason, they are called jumping genes. However, some transposons are always kept at the insertion site in the genome.
Transposons are a class of genetic elements that are also called the jumping genes which can be used during gene silencing.
