Gene amplification is
A) seen in ribosomal genes of developing amphibian oocytes.
B) seen in the genes for muscle proteins of developing muscle cells.
C) seen in the genes for immunoglobulins during B lymphocyte development.
D) never seen in eukaryotic cells, since the amount of DNA per cell is always constant, except during S phase of the cell cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene amplification is a process where specific genes are replicated multiple times to increase their expression. In developing amphibian oocytes, ribosomal RNA genes are amplified to meet the high demand for protein synthesis.
