Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 years ago

<span>Transposons are mobile elements that are very important in the evolution of the eukaryotic genome. </span> <span>For example, transposons are involved in the formation of introns. Evolution often deactivates DNA transposons via RNA interference, leaving them as <span>introns. They are also important in the production of antibody diversity via </span>V(D)J recombination <span>because the mechanism of this recombination is similar to that of some transposons (probably originated from it).</span> Another advantage of these mobile elements is in the formation of interspersed repeats within genomes which are created by transposition. Because interspersed repeats block gene conversion, they protect novel gene sequences from being overwritten by similar gene sequences.</span> <span>Transposons can contain many types of genes.</span>

When comparing energy and chemicals in an ecosystem?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun.
