Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene inactivation refers to the process where a gene is no longer expressed and its function is lost. This can lead to the formation of pseudogenes, which are non-functional copies of genes that have accumulated mutations and are no longer able to produce functional proteins. Orthologs, paralogs, homologues, and horizontal gene transfer are not directly related to gene inactivation.
