distinguish between retrotransposons and DNA transposons.

 
Answer:
Transposons, also called as jumping genes or DNA transposons, are the gene sequences present in the genome of eukaryotic cells that can jump to different locations within a genome. These cause RNA interference (RNAi) by silencing specific sequence of DNA and is used as method of cellular defence by all eukaryotic cells.

Transposons that replicate via RNA intermediate are called retrotransposon. Retrotransposons are the types of transposons that copy themselves to RNA and then back to DNA  so that it may integrate back to the genome.​
