Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Transposons need to regulate their copy number to avoid errors with chromosomal pairing during meiosis and mitosis such as unequal crossover.

A typical example of this error is called the Alu Sequence or Elements. Alu elements contain more than one million copies found everywhere in the genome of human beings.

Many inherited human diseases such as cancer are related to Alu insertions.

Cheers!
