It highlights biological mutations from replication errors and mobile genetic elements called transposable elements (TEs), which disrupt gene functions and are classified as Class I (retrotransposons) and Class II (transposons). TEs are important for genome evolution, affecting gene structure, function, and genetic diversity.
