To be frank, transposons effect genes when they move, or jump to a different location and cause mutations. If it doesn't cause a mutation, it inactivates the gene. For instance, in Indian Corn, some pigment genes are not expressed in some cells because they have been disrupted by jumping genes.
Hope that helped you finish your homework Bud!! =D

Genes that can move about on the chromosomes sometimes creating mutations?
Transposons
The change in the position of a gene on a chromosome is called a?
Transposons are the ' jumping genes ' that move from one place to another in the genome.
How does chance affect combinations of genes?
genetic drift is the change in genes due solely to chance.bottleneck effect and founder's effect are both examples of how chance effects the genes.
Does crossing over affect one or many genes?
Crossing over can effect on more then one gene i.e. at least two as in crossing over the genes of homologus chromatin get interchanged so it effect at least two genes and can effect or change more then two genes depend upon the linking and crossing over capability
What is the interactive nature of polygenic genes?
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
Genes that can move about on the chromosomes sometimes creating mutations?
Transposons
Jumping genes that have the ability to move within and between chromosomes are called what?
transposons
What do you think transposons or jumping genes maybe capable of doing?
making it easier for people to get diseas.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
What are transposons and how do they contribute to changes in bacteria?
Transposable elements are more complex than insertion sequences. In some bacterial transposons, the extra genes are sandwiched between two insertion sequences. Transposons may help bacteria adapt to new enviroments. =D... Hope this helps!!-AP EDITION BIOLOGY-CAMPBELL REECE

Explain how transposons can generate genetic diversity?
Transposons help bacteria adapt to new environments, therefore generating genetic diversity.
What is the name for simplest transposable elements?

What is Barbara mcclintock's contributions to cytogenetics?
discovered transposons
What is the significance of a jumping genes?
A jumping gene, also known as a transposon is a gene that can move around, and sometimes even jump to other chromosomes.
