Transposons tend to found in non-coding regions of genomes

Reference no: EM13287718

It has become clear as we obtain the complete genome sequences of many organisms that transposons tend to be found in non-coding regions of genomes: between genes, within introns, in pseudogenes and repetitive DNA. Although we aren't certain why this may be the case, there are many possibilities: think about this situation and describe two possible explanations that you come up with. Which do you prefer and why?

Please answer CLEARLY
