Chapter 9.5, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction

To review:

The diagram where a composite transposon like Tn10 (transposon 10) can generate inversions or deletion in target DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) during transposition.

Introduction:

A transposon or transposable element (TE) is a sequence in DNA that has the ability to change its locations inside a genome. It also undergoes reverse mutations where it can change the identity and size of the gene. It is divided into classes, class â…  TEs which follow the copy and paste pattern and class â…¡ TEs which are cut and paste type of transposons.
