Answer:
C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.
Explanation:
DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.
The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.
The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.
Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.
The reproductive system is different from other body systems in that the reproductive system functions in the survival of a species while all other body systems function to ensure the survival of the individual.
