Transposons also called a jumping genes are the gene sequence present in the genome of eukaryotic cells that can jump to different locations within a genome. These cause RNA interference by silencing specific sequence of DNA and is used as a method of cellular defense of eukarypotic cells

Transposons also called as jumping genes are the gene sequences present in the genome of eukaryotic cells that can jump to different locations within a genome. These cause RNA interferance (RNAi) by silencing specific sequence of DNA and is used as method of cellular defense by all eukarypotic cells.
Transposons that replicate via RNA intermediate are called retrotransposon. Retrotransposons are the types of transposons that copy themselves to RNA and then back to DNA so that it may integrate back to the genome.
