Which of the following statements are true about transposable elements?
Select one:
a. Non-autonomous transposons no longer move around the genome.
b. Autonomous retrotransposons encode a reverse transcriptase and endonuclease.
c. Whenever a transposable element inserts into the genome, it disrupts the function of nearby genes.
d. Transposons that encode their own transposase enzyme can move via a cut and paste mechanism, and transposons that do not encode their own transposase can no longer do so.

P-elements are a type of transposon commonly used in Drosophila (fruit fly) research. A common marker for P-elements is the miniwhite + gene, an engineered version of the white locus. Flies mutant for the natural white have white eyes instead of wild-type red eyes. A miniwhite + gene on a P-element in a white mutant will produce eye pigment, and will act as a dominant marker indicating that the P-element is present. P-elements used for research are nonautonomous, meaning that...
