Not true. Transposons can be present in eukaryotes too.

Explanation:

They edit and disrupt the genes. They are not are same place of in different strains of same species because they are transposon, they move and change location. Due to what it disrupts, it can affect phenotype but probably change location in nontranscripted places.
