In Eukaryotes, Gene Amplification Is Tolerated Well When the Amplified

Multiple Choice

In eukaryotes, gene amplification is tolerated well when the amplified gene encodes for RNA products. However, it is rare or detrimental when the product is a protein. Why would it be advantageous for the cell to amplify the RNA- producing genes and not the protein- producing ones?

A) It allows for the manufacture of many RNA molecules when needed in the cell.
B) Proteins are amplified from a single mRNA molecule.
C) RNAs are amplified from a single protein molecule.
D) More RNA is needed by the cell than protein.
E) both A and B
