In this process one or both of the genetic variants are replaced by different variants found at the same two places in a second DNA molecule. Transposons are sequences of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell, a process called transposition. In the process, they can cause mutations and change the amount of DNA in the genome. Transposons are also called "jumping genes" or "mobile genetic elements".
