Question: A Drosophila P element 2.2 kb in length is modified by adding a 0.8-kb intron sequence to one of its exons. A copia element of 5.2 kb is modified by adding the same 0.8-kb intron to its central region.
1. A Drosophila genome carrying both transposable elements is induced to undergo transposition. What is the length of the newly transposed P element?
2. What is the length of the newly transposed copia element?
