Answer:

Transposable elements (TE)

Explanation:

A transposon, also known as 'jumping genes', is a particular sequence of DNA that can relocate inside of the genome. It affects the genetic identity and can be made use of to either reverse a mutation or create one - it duplicates that genetic sequence. Retrotransposons is a class of TE found in viruses.
