Question
Part A Which of the following is NOT true of transposon tagging? The transposase gene is removed from the transposon used in tagging to prevent the transposon from moving to other locations. DNA from the transposon used to tag a gene serves as a probe to detect the gene in a genomic library. The inverted repeats are removed from the transposon used in tagging to prevent the transposon from moving to other locations. A transposon tagging system can be used only in the organism in which the transposon is naturally found.Explanation / Answer
Option D is not true for transposon tagging - A transposon tagging system can be used in the organism in which the transposon is naturally found. It can be used in all types of organisms.
