Multiple Choice
A piece of DNA that is 3 kb in length is found in many locations throughout the genome. How would you decide whether this was a LINE or a DNA transposon?
A) Count the number of copies in the genome. If it has more than 10,000 copies, it is a LINE; if not, it is a DNA transposon.
B) Count the number of copies in the genome. If it has more than 10,000 copies, it is a DNA transposon; if not, it is a LINE.
C) If it contains the sequence GCTCGATC it is a LINE; if not, it is a DNA transposon.
D) If it uses an RNA intermediate, it is a LINE; if not, it is a DNA transposon.
E) If it uses a copy and paste mechanism of copying, it is a DNA transposon; if not, it is a LINE.
