    A Synthesizing proteins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Storing genetic information Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Altering gene expression Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Transporting ions across membranes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Transposons, also known as jumping genes, can move within the genome and influence gene expression by activating or deactivating genes. This mobility makes them key players in genetic diversity and evolution.
