Dna rearrangement

... Major evolutionary change to the genome occurs by the amplification and rearrangement of pre-existing modules. Old genomic systems are disassembled ... � Major alterations in the content and distribution of repetitive DNA elements results in a reformatting of the genome to function in novel ...

The overall DNA content does not change, although with "jumping genes" (Transposons) mutations can occur and change the DNA. Whether or not changing the sequence of genes in DNA is classed as changing the DNA would depend ...
