Following a gene duplication event, the additional copy of the gene is identical to the original copy. How does a gene duplication event promote the creation of a gene with a novel function? Following a gene duplication event, one of the two copies of the gene may be lost leading to pseudogenization. The duplication could allow more proteins to be expressed. Following a gene duplication event, one of both copies of the gene may mutate and explore new functions. Following a gene duplication event, the gene family is expanded.
