The genome of every multicellular eukaryote that has been sequenced is composed of a large percentage of transposable elements (often 30% to 50%), but they are nearly absent from the genomes of eubacteria and archaea. What are these things and what do they do? Describe and draw the structural organization and mechanism for movement of transposons and retro- transposable elements.
