Answer:

DNA transposons, viral-like transposable elements, and non-LTR retrotransposons

Explanation:

Transposable Elements (TEs) are genetic mobile elements that can change its position within a genome, thereby producing mutations at the genomic sites where they are inserted. According to their composition and structure, TEs can be divided into three main types: DNA transposons, viral-like transposable elements, and non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons (also known as polyA retrotransposons). In the first place, DNA transposons are composed of conserved inverted repeat sequences at both ends of the element which are surrounded by target site duplications (TSDs). Moreover, viral-like TEs contain LTRs and they encode reverse transcriptase enzymes. Finally, non-LTR retrotransposons contain a poly(A) tail at the 3′ end, but they don't have inverted repeats.

How does mutation relate to variation

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Mutation is the source for new genetic variation: Genetic variation is brought about by random mutation. Without mutation, genetic variation cannot occur. Mutation is a change in the genetic code in DNA and can lead to a change in the protein that is coded for that segment of DNA.

Explanation:

Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.

Select the correct statement about cellular respiration.

weeeeeb [17]

I dont want to mislead you, but I believe the answer is A because letter B is wrong because plants go through cellular respiration and photosynthesis, whereas animals go through cellular respiration but not photosynthesis, and for C, I've never heard of that so it doesnt seem likely.
