  1. Mobile genetic elements present in human genome are
    P. long interspersed elements (LINEs)
    Q. short interspersed elements (SINEs)
    R. P elements
    S. IS elements
    1. Q, R
    2. P, Q
    3. P, R
    4. Q, S
Correct Option: B

Mobile genetic elements are the nucleotide sequences that can change their position in the genome. There are two categories of mobile genetic elements: DNA mobile genetic elements or DNA transposons and retroelements.
There are 3 kinds of retroelements:
• LINE( Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements)
• SINE( Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements)
• LTR(retrovirus like elements with Long Terminal Repeats)
