Transposable Elements in Eukaryotes

It is required for transposition of DNA transposons

It synthesizes DNA from RNA

It is encoded within long-terminal repeats of retrotransposons

The provirus uses it to insert into the genome

Ds element

Alu element

P element

Ac element

Intron

Exon

Promoter

Enhancer

Splicing would occur, and the protein would be unaffected

Translation would not occur on any part of the mRNA

Splicing would not occur and the protein would be altered

Chaperone proteins would correct the damage, and the protein would be unaffected
