1 A group of students carry out an
experiment to extract DNA from
strawberries
First, the students make up a mixture
containing 3 g of salt, 100 cm3 of
water and 10 cm3 of detergent.
What measuring equipment will be
needed? *

Transposon can cause mutations in genes at or near the site of transposon insertion. it is possible for these elements to transpose away from their original site, causing a reversion of the mutant phenotype. in some cases, however, even more severe phenotypes appear when these elements excise from this site, due to events at or near the mutant allele. what might be happening to the transposon or the nearby gene to create more severe mutations?
