Question
Chapter 19.4, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The molecular mechanisms that cause tandem duplication of genes and dispersed duplication of genes.
Introduction:
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genome contains the protein-coding genes. They have evolved over 3.5 billion years. The new type of genes evolved along with life. The evolution of genes includes duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation of genes.
