Question

What are pseudogenes and how are they produced?

Answer 1

Pseudogenes are segments of DNA that are related to real genes.Pseudogenes have lost at least some functionality, relative to the complete gene, in cellular gene expression or protein-coding ability. ... Nonetheless,pseudogenes contain biological and evolutionary histories within their sequences.

Answer 2

Pseudogenes originate from decay of genes that originated from duplication through evolution. The decays include point mutations, insertions, deletions, misplaced stop codons, or frameshifts of a gene. The decay may occur during duplication, and these disablements may cause loss of a gene function.
