While inspecting the genome sequence of your newly discoyered organism, you note that while the genome overall is 50% G + C, there is a cluster of
genes comprising about 20,000 bp that is 64% G+ C. The best explanation for this is
Multiple Choice
the 20,000 bp segment is a recent acquisition via horizontal gene transfer
the 20,000 bp segment likely contains a cluster of housekeeping genes
this represents normal variation within a chromosome
the 20,000 bp segment is an adaptation to a more thermophilic environment
Match the term with the correct description.

Which of the following statements regarding gene duplication are FALSE? Select ALL that apply.
extra gene copies are highly deleterious
duplications arise through unequal crossing over
duplicates in the same gene family are called paralogs
duplication is an important source of new genes
duplications confound the pairing of homologous chromosomes, leading to fertility problems
