Most genes are lined up on chromosomes like pearls on a string. However, a certain class of genes differ by being highly mobile; and the mecha- they are termed transposons.

It goes without saying that Latin-American Indians already bred such variegated material much earlier, but no descriptions have yet been uncovered.
Meanwhile, genetically heritable variegation patterns have been described at many different loci in more than 34 different plant species.
