Transposons are movable elements of DNA that insert into new positions within the genome. A transposon may disrupt normal gene f

unction, confer an evolutionary advantage, or have no effect on the organism.
A. Aquisition of a transposon carrying an adhesin gene into the Lactobacillus casei genome.
B. Acquisition of a transposon that disrupts.
C. Insertion of a transposon encoding a heat shock protein into the genome of a plant.
D. Insertion of a transposon into the gene encoding Factor VIII, an essential blood-clotting protein.
E. Undefined.

Answer:

The answer is incomplete because it is imperative to know what is the result of the transposition (i.e., deleterious, beneficial or neutral). For example, A and C options represent study cases where the insertion of Transposable Elements (TEs) may result beneficial for the organism.

Explanation:

Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile genetic elements that have the ability to move within the genome. According to their mechanisms of insertion, TEs are classified into two major classes: Class I (or retrotransposons) and Class II (DNA transposons), which are capable of moving by copy-paste (i.e., by a RNA intermediate) and cut-paste mechanisms, respectively.  

Although originally were considered to be parasitic (deleterious) genetic mobile elements, nowadays it is well known that they may be sometimes beneficial depending on the localization of the TE insertion. For example, TE insertion into a protein-coding region (exon) sequence it is likely to produce protein disruption and thereby it has a deleterious effect. However, the insertion of TEs into upstream and intron non-coding regions may confer gene regulatory activity and be eventually beneficial to the organism.

How are the dna replication products visualized during the sanger method of dna sequencing?.
n200080 [17]

The DNA replication products visualized during the sanger method of DNA sequencing are observed in which nucleotides are added.

Sanger sequencing is based on the process of DNA replication. A scientist creates a copy of his DNA strand. Then observe which nucleotides have been added. This way you can see the sequence of nucleotides. A laser excites the fluorescent labels in each band and a computer detects the resulting light.

Sanger sequencing produces extension products of various lengths ending in dideoxynucleotides at the 3' ends. Extension products are separated by capillary electrophoresis or CE. Molecules are injected by an electric current into a long glass capillary filled with gel polymer. Selective incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerases during in vitro DNA replication.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!
