Questions and Answers

What is the potential consequence of the insertion of an unrelated stretch of DNA into the middle of a gene?

  • The gene will duplicate itself
  • The gene will be completely removed
  • The gene's function will remain unaffected
  • The gene's function will be drastically affected (correct)

    • What happens when transposons spontaneously insert themselves into the middle of another gene?

  • The target gene is replicated
  • The target gene's function is enhanced
  • The target gene becomes inactive
  • The target gene is disrupted and its proper function is abolished (correct)

    • How does the relocation of transposons affect genes?

  • It can disrupt the normal function of genes (correct)
  • It enhances the function of genes
  • It has no effect on genes
  • It removes genes from the genome
