transposable
Able to swap
Transposable means capable of being transposed—moved from one position to another or exchanged with something else.
In music, a transposable melody can be shifted to a different key.
In genetics, transposable elements are DNA sequences that can move to different positions within a genome: Transposable elements make up nearly half the human genome.
