Answer:

These sequences are known as jumping genes.

Explanation:

  • Jumping genes or transposons are sequences of DNA that can jump from one chromosome to another or change their position in the same chromosome.
  • This position changes can lead to the turning off a gene or turning on an unnecessary gene due to the mutations caused by these jumping genes.
  • For example, if these genes placed near a gene which activates its transcription.
