Answer:

they are evolutionary neutral

Explanation:

Transposons are genetic mobile elements that move into the genome by means of cut-paste and copy-paste mechanisms. In consequence, transposons are known to produce mutations in the inserted genomic sequences.

Non-coding DNA regions have been generally assumed to be evolutionary neutral, it means that they might resist genetic polymorphisms (such as, for example, those caused by the insertion of transposon elements) and don't have direct effects on the phenotype of the organism. However, it is important to note that recent evidence supports the idea that noncoding sequences play important regulatory roles, thereby mutations in these genomic regions may have a deleterious effect on the organism.
