Question

question 29
the jumping of a gene from one location to another is done by ______.
a conjugation
b transformation
c transposons
d transduction
e transmission

Explanation:

The question asks about the process by which a gene jumps from one location to another. Conjugation is bacterial gene transfer via direct contact; transformation is uptake of free DNA; transduction is gene transfer via viruses; transmission is general transfer (not specific to gene jumping). Transposons, or "jumping genes," are DNA sequences that move between genomic locations.

Answer:

C. transposons
