Within a Genome, Some Genes Are Found to Have Multiple

Essay

Within a genome, some genes are found to have multiple copies that cluster together and are very similar, both structurally and functionally.These genes tend to evolve in concert, and they are more closely related to each other than to orthologous genes of closely related species.Two different mechanisms appear to support concerted evolution.One mechanism is related to the pairing of homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis.Describe how this process works.
