Retrotransposons are long, defined and conserved sequences. These fine structures enable them to be used for cloning of specific markers and flanking sequences. In terms of its replication strategy, the replicationally active members of the family will produce new insertions in the genome which led to polymorphisms. Besides, in contrast to other techniques such as SSAP and AFLP, there is no DNA digestion involve in IRAP and REMAP techniques which made them simpler to be conducted (Kalendar et al.,

One group of lab partners in a lab class examine a tray of corn seedlings showing both green and albino plants. The students record their findings and compare their tray of corn seedlings’ results to five other lab groups in the class. The lab students used this information to test all of the possible gene combinations the parents that produced partial green and albino offspring may have had, using Punnett squares. Based on their findings, the groups determine the hypothetical genotype and phenotype ratios of the corn seedlings and use this to form a hypothesis.
