explain Duplication.
1 answer
Duplication is a process in genetics where a gene or a section of DNA is copied and repeated. This can occur naturally through processes such as DNA replication or can be artificially induced through techniques such as gene cloning. Duplication can result in an increase in the number of copies of a gene or section of DNA, which can lead to changes in the expression of the gene or the function of the gene product. Duplication can also lead to the formation of new genes or gene families.
