Question

Gene duplication has been found to be one of
the major reasons for genome expansion in
eukaryotes. In general, what would be the selective
advantage of gene duplication?
(1 Point)
If one gene copy is nonfunctional, a
backup is available.
Larger genomes are more resistant to
spontaneous mutations.
Duplicated genes will make more of the
protein product.
Gene duplication will lead to new species
evolution.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes is all answer of your question

Explanation:

Gene duplications are an essential source of genetic novelty that can lead to evolutionary innovation. Duplication creates genetic redundancy, where the second copy of the gene is often free from selective pressure—that is, mutations of it have no deleterious effects to its host organism
