Question

Which type of transposon would contain a gene for transposase? which type of transposon would contain a gene for transposase? neither simple nor complex transposons; the transposase enzyme is coded independently by the cell. complex transposons simple transposons both simple and complex transposons?

Answer 1

The right answer is both simple and complex transposons.

A transposable element, sometimes called a transposon, is a DNA sequence capable of moving autonomously in a genome by a mechanism called transposition.

Transposase is an important and specific element of every transposon, whether it is simple or complex transposons, or it has a copy-and-paste or a cut-and-paste transposition mechanism,
