A difference between certain eukaryotic and prokaryotic transposable elements lies in the mechanism of transposition. Some eukaryotic transposable elements transpose through an RNA
intermediate; prokaryotic elements do not use an RNA intermediate.

A similarity between eukaryotic transposable elements and their counterparts in prokaryotes is
that transposition into a new site generates a short repeated sequence at the target site.

Although I do not have a clear-cut reason why, your answer could likely be found in the following attachment. Let me know if it helps.
