Transposition is a process by which segments of a chromosome are relocated through the genome. A transposable element is a nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size. Transposition often results in the duplication of the same genetic material.
