Chapter 19.4, Problem 2SB

Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason behind the fact that the new genes, produced by the exon shuffling, have more novel functions as compared to the new genes produced by the simple gene duplication.

Introduction:

Evolution is the process that involves various mechanisms that result in the production of a new gene. Gene mutation and genetic recombinations are some of the factors that result in genetic variations. There are a few other mechanisms that lead to the development of the novel genes and contribute to the process of evolution.
