Transposable elements are able to move around the genome by precise or imprecise excision events. What is meant by imprecise excision?

A. Imprecise excision refers to a transposable element that has left either terminal repeat during the excision events.

B. Excision of a transposable element is imprecise when a piece of flanking genomic DNA is changed along with the transposon.

C. In some cases transposons will make deletions that will remove the transposase gene. This type of pseudogene creation is known as imprecise excision as it leaves the terminal repeats intact.

D. Imprecise excision refers to fact that most transposons insert at random positions within the genome.
