Question

Explain the term Gene amplification.

Answer 1

Medical Definition of Gene amplification. Gene amplification: Making multiple copies of a gene. Repeated copying of a gene. Gene amplification plays a role in cancer cells. A tumor cell amplifies, or copies, DNA segments as a result of cell signals and sometimes environmental events.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gene Amplification results in the increase in number of copies of a particular gene.

Explanation:

Gene Amplification, results in the increase in the copes of a particular gene. These amplifications may or may not be responsible for synthesis of corresponding RNA and protein molecules.

Gene Amplification is also a cause of multiplication of cancer cells.

Gene Amplification is also done artificially to create many copies of gene of interest in RNA Recombinant Technology.
