now regarding the answer we all agreed that the answer is a
here is what i had to add what was missed before
in this question basic problem is to differentiate is bet insertion sequence and transposon and the BIG difference between two is transposn is composed of more than one gene while insertion sequence has only one gene
both can move between chromosomes and called jumping genes
both have tranposases
both have inverted repeats
