Class I Transposable elements (TEs): Retrotransposons
Class I TEs are also known as retrotransposons...the TE while also increasing the size of their host’s genome.
There are two types of Class 1 TEs: those...DNA sequences or target sites. Integration of most transposable elements (TEs) results in the duplication...into new target sites. This is similar to how retroviruses, like HIV, replicate. Class I TEs do not encode...encode a transposase enzyme.
Class I TEs are considered replicative since every time they jump they make...
