Question
A psuedogene containing only exons (no introns) could be caused by the following:
Retrotransposition by the Line1 element
Homologous Recombination
Transposition by a DNA transposon
Non homologous end joining
Retrotransposition by the Line1 element
Homologous Recombination
Transposition by a DNA transposon
Non homologous end joining
Explanation / Answer
A psuedogene containing only exons ( no introns) could be caused by the Retrotransposition by the Line1 element.
In retrotransposition, a part of the mRNA transcript of any gene is get reversed transcribed again in to DNA and combine with the parent DNA.
