Transposable elements can be detrimental to an organism because genes may become disrupted. Cell determination requires convertible elements. mtDNA is intercalated. Translation is stalled by riboswitches.

In what way can defective transposable elements alter genomes even if they cannot mobilize? (Select all that apply.) Group of answer choices Proteins produced by the defective transposable elements introduce point mutations in other areas of the genome. Crossing-over between transposable elements on nonhomologous chromosomes can result in a reciprocal translocation. Crossing-over between transposable elements on the same chromosome can result in a deletion or an inversion. Genes located between two transposable elements could be moved to a nonhomologous chromosome with no autonomous copies of such elements present in the genome.

Transposable elements make up 44% of the human genome. What is thought to be their function? Multiple Choice They fight cancer. They code for rRNA. They act like regulator genes. They help in the replication of DNA. They determine gender.
