Suppose that a rare DNA replication error results in the duplication of a single gene, giving the daughter cell two copies of t same gene. How does this change favor the acquisition of a new function by the daughter cell? The copy can undergo a gain-of-function or loss-of-function mutation without altering the original gene's function. The copy has already-formed domains with biological activity, so new functions do not need to evolve de novo. ✔ The duplicated gene increases the rate at which the cell can perform the function encoded by the original gene. The two genes can combine to form a new gene that encodes a protein with a new, additional function. The cell can make additional proteins, which then undergo alterations and can give rise to new functions.

Gene Interactions

When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
