Transposons (or transposable elements) are present only in prokaryotes. edit genes. can disrupt genes. are always in the same place in different strains of the same species. can only affect an organism's genotype, not its phenotype.

Answer:

Not true. Transposons can be present in eukaryotes too.

Step-by-step explanation:

They edit and disrupt the genes. They are not are same place of in different strains of same species because they are transposon, they move and change location. Due to what it disrupts, it can affect phenotype but probably change location in nontranscripted places.
