A psuedogene containing only exons (no introns) could be caused by the following

Question

A psuedogene containing only exons (no introns) could be caused by the following:                       

                                Retrotransposition by the Line1 element

                                Homologous Recombination

                                Transposition by a DNA transposon

                                Non homologous end joining

                                Retrotransposition by the Line1 element

                                Homologous Recombination

                                Transposition by a DNA transposon

                                Non homologous end joining

Explanation / Answer

A psuedogene containing only exons ( no introns) could be caused by the Retrotransposition by the Line1 element.

In retrotransposition, a part of the mRNA transcript of any gene is get reversed transcribed again in to DNA and combine with the parent DNA.
