Genetic Recombination
Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recom…
Microbial Genetics
Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.
Question

explain Gene relocation due to transposition

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1
  • Transposition is defined as the phenomenon of the relocation of one gene from one loci to another.
  • The genes that perform translocation are known as transposons or the jumping genes or insertion sequences.
  • They are short DNA sequences that jump from one location to another and often make multiple copies of itself during the process.
