Describe how transposable elements create mutations within an organism and how transposable elements facilitate chromosomal rear

rangements.

Answer:

Transposable elements are discrete segments of DNA that can be excised and reintegrated to another site in the genome, these can inactivate the gene in which they reside, cause chromosome breaks, and / or transpose to a new location within the genome.

Explanation:

Transposable elements are fragments of DNA that have the ability to jump from one part of the genome to another. While most of the DNA is always in the same place surrounded by the same neighboring pieces of DNA, mobile elements move from one place to another causing many changes or mutations. When a transposon moves through the genome, it can insert into a vital gene, disrupting its function, or into a location near vital genes, causing erroneous activation or inactivation.On the other hand, there can be chromosomal rearrangements due to transposons of the same family with complementary sequences that are separated in the genome and that by sequence homology match. This can lead to ectopic recombination. Large-scale rearrangements induced by mobile elements are considered a particular class of recombination events that influence genomic plasticity.

<span>The reason why the modern cockroaches have certain additional genes which allow them to survive in today’s colder climate is because of evolution. The species can grow to be able to live in certain environments. Cockroaches are to some degree summed up creepy crawlies without extraordinary adjustments like the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other genuine bugs; they have biting mouthparts and are likely among the most primitive of living neopteran bugs.</span>

What's the difference between transcription and translation
Alborosie
Transcription is when the Dna is being copied by the mRNA

Translation is when the mRNA is turning the DNA into another "code". So the t RNA can drop off the right protein.
