Transposons can be used during which one of the following?

Transposons can be used during which one of the following?
  1. Gene silencing
  2. Autoradiography
  3. Gene sequencing
  4. 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.
