Study online at quizlet. com/_1w24fd: ectopic transposition: movement of intron to new genomic, how do group ii introns work? sites, group ii introns: Like group i introns, group ii introns are mobile genetic elements capable of self splicing. Intron homing is a process whereby the intron moves from an intron-containing allele to an intronless allele in a homologydependent gene conversion event. Coconversion of flanking exon sequences often accompanies intron homing.
