Which of the following is a major distinction between a transposon and a retrotransposon?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. A transposon always leaves a copy of itself at its original position and a retrotransposon does not.

  2. A retrotransposon always uses the copy-paste mechanism, while a transposon uses cut and paste mechanism.

  3. A transposon is related to a virus and a retrotransposon is not.

  4. A transposon moves via a DNA intermediate and a retrotransposon via an RNA intermediate.
