Question
1. You are working for a company, “Your DNA” that provides individuals with their genome sequence that is printed on a tee shirt. You have sequenced the DNA of an individual and identify a number of different transposable genetic elements. The customer has not heard of these DNA sequences and asks how you determined that their DNA contains transposable genetics elements. Which of the following are characteristics that permitted you to determine that the individual’s DNA contained transposable genetic elements?
They are sequences terminated at both ends by inverted repeats
They are sequences flanked by direct repeats of a target chromosomal sequence
They are sequences that encode for a transposase, responsible for catalyzing transposition
They are sequences only found in circular DNA, not linear chromosomal DNA
All the above
Answers (A) and (B)
Answers (A), (B), and (C)
Answers (B), (C), and (D)
Explanation / Answer
Based on the given data, the following characteristics that permitted you to determine that the individuals DNA contained transposable genetic elements are as follows:
Thus the correct option is (C) Answers (A), (B), and (C).
