Duplication of Vermillion eye colour gene leads to the expression of the mutant phenotype. Which of the following can lead to normal phenotype with this duplication present?
Duplication of Vermillion eye colour gene leads to the expression of the mutant phenotype. Which of the following can lead to normal phenotype with this duplication present? Correct Answer Duplication of normal eye colour gene
Duplication in normal eye colour gene would balance the mutant gene product and lead to expression of wild type phenotype. Reverse tandem duplication will only create more copies of mutant making phenotype worse, also deletion of both genes will cause imbalance. Translocation makes no difference in expression unless it’s beside a heterochromatin.
