17. Because of the drought tolerance, a soy plant has
been cultivated by farmers. During reproduction, a selfish DNA
element copies itself out of chromosome 4 using its polymerase
genes. The selfish DNA element can paste itself into a new location
on chromosome 11, and drag along with a gene for salinity
processing, making a better drought tolerance. What is this
element?
a. a non-autonomous, type 1, retrotransposon
b. a non-autonomous, type 2 transposon
c. an autonomous, type 1, retrotransposon
d. no option is correct
e. a type 2 DNA transposon
