Chapter 21, Problem 3TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: “Gene duplication” is the phenomenon of the occurrence of more than one copy of the genes in the genome of the organisms like the alpha and the beta globin gene family. It takes place in the genome due to the presence of the transposable genes inserted in the chromosomes. This causes the development of the formation of the unequal crossing of the chromosomes.
