Chapter 6.11, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
The genome of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells usually contains several gene copies that are associated with the sequence due to the distributed evolutionary progenitor, this type of genes are referred as homologous. Thus, the groups of homologs genes are called as gene families. The gene duplication is the concept to be a vital potency beyond the gene families evolution.
