Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Transposition may be related to replication, recombination, and repair. Insertion of transposable elements may cause mutations. Some transpositions can be replicative by generating their own copy. Some transposition events inactivate, activate, or have no effect on nearby genes.

True or False:If a DNA helix contains bases pairs of XY, for PCR to copy the helix one would need to add XTP in addition to the common reagents
Following base removal, DNA polymerase can add nucleotides in the 5'-to-3' direction.
Is that true or False? Why? please help me explain that
based on the picture
What is the length in basepairs of these sequences?
How many base substitutions are there between these sequences? Count ONLY the instances where there is ANY nucleotide difference between any of the sequences (leave out any indels in this count)
Are there any indels in this alignment? (yes or no)
