A) cistron
B) transposon
C) intron
D) recon
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Transposon is a DNA segment or genetic element moving from one chromosome to another. The term was introduced by RW Hedges and A E Jacob in (1974) to controlling elements or jumping genes, discovered by Barbara McClintock (1983) in maize. Cistron is the functional unit of DNA molecule, it codes for a particular gene product. Recon is the cross over unit or it is segment of DNA, which participates in crossing over. Introns are the interrupted genes or those regions of a gene, which are non-coding sequences and get removed during splicing and processing.
