This is from TBR Bio:
Which of the following statements is LEAST likely to result from gene duplication?
A. Synthesis of similar amino acid sequences
B. Synthesis of similar tRNA sequences
C. Independent mutation of the DNA sequences
D. Synthesis of longer mRNA sequences
The answer to this question is D. I figured that if gene duplication occurs, you get more base pairs in DNA and thus a longer mRNA sequence. However, this isn't what is actually happening. Why are A, B, and C incorrect?...
