Rearrangement

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 on the functionality of the sequence. Since I am not 100% sure wheth...

Clear this up for me: To say genes rearrange in a cell is to say a person's DNA changes. True or false? Also, can someone give me some info on "jumping genes"? I've been trying to decide if they really are a factor in evolution. I want to make sure I have this straight: Certain genes calle...

... an allele considered a mutant allele. The mutant allele might have single point mutation. Alternatively, the mutant allele might carry a single rearrangement, such as a small inversion. In either of these cases, only one change is required to get from the gene sequence of the wild-type allele ...
