Expert Solution
Step 1

Gene duplication is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution.  It is a type of mutation in which gene is duplicated or doubled.  Thus gene duplication provides a new genetic material on which mutation, drift, and selection may act upon, making new evolutionary opportunities possible.
