Transposable Elements That Transpose Via an RNA Intermediate is Known

Question

Transposable elements that transpose via an RNA intermediate is known as:
A)class 1 elements.
B)class 2 elements.
C)class 3 elements.
D)alpha elements.
E)D elements.

Accepted Answer

Class 1 elements, also known as retrotransposons, transpose through an RNA intermediate. This process involves transcription of the transposable element into RNA, which is then reverse-transcribed into DNA before integration into a new location in the genome.
