During DNA transposition by the cut-and-paste mechanism, the transposase cuts the two strands of the target site DNA several nucleotides apart. Cellular repair enzymes fill in these overhangs, resulting in the formation of During DNA transposition by the cut-and-paste mechanism, the transposase cuts the two strands of the target site DNA several nucleotides apart. Cellular repair enzymes fill in these overhangs, resulting in the formation of the synaptic complex. a poly-A sequence. target site direct repeats. long terminal repeats. inverted terminal repeats.

Answer :

BioWizard

Answer:

target site direct repeats.

Explanation:

This type of  cut and paste transposition is known as conservative transposition and  non-replicative mode of transposition. This means that transposon is completely removed from its  original sequence and moved to the other (target site) via enzymes tranposases.

The gaps formed by the action of transposases are being filled in by DNA polymerase.  Upon excision, direct repeats are left in the chromosomal DNA.
