Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

- P element: These Drosophila transposons are critical for genetic research and gene tagging.
- LINE and SINE: Long and Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements in humans influence genome structure and function.
- Ty element: Yeast's Ty elements are transposons contributing to genetic variability.
- Tn element: Bacterial Tn elements are essential transposons for antibiotic resistance studies.
