Biology

Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.

Explanation:

DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.

The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.

The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.

Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.

Can someone help me please fast

I am not really sure, but I guess it is the temperature.
By using educated guessing, you can exclude brightness and age and also mass as they can vary and still cannot determine the other characteristics from one of them.
And also by knowing that pressure is known using equations only by temperature, and pressure actually can be considered to be responsible to form or deform the star.

Hope this helps.
