  1. In simple transposition, transposase catalyzes the removal and reintegration of the transposon, while transposase is not involved in replicative transposition.
  2. In simple transposition, a double stranded piece of DNA is moved from one site to another, while in replicative transposition a single strand is moved, leaving a single strand behind.
  3. Simple transposition requires DNA synthesis while replicative transposition does not.
  4. Replicative transposition requires DNA synthesis while simple transposition does not.
