Examples of transposons in human genome are
A. LINE
B. SINE
C. Both A and B
D. IS elements
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Examples of transposons in the human genome are Both LINE and SINE.Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile repetitive sequences that make up large fractions of mammalian genomes, including at least 45% of the human genome.
SINEs and LINEs are short and long interspersed retro transposable elements, respectively, that invade new genomic sites using RNA intermediates.
SINEs and LINEs are found in almost all eukaryotes and together account for at least 34% of the human genome.
