A)pseudogene creation
B)creation of a gene cluster
C)creation of a polyploid
D)creation of an aneuploid
E)creation of a diploid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When all genes in a genome are duplicated, it results in a polyploid organism with multiple sets of chromosomes. This is frequently seen in plants, which often undergo whole-genome duplication events. Options A and B may occur as a result of gene duplication, but they do not necessarily require duplication of all genes in the genome. Options D and E refer to changes in chromosome number that are different from whole-genome duplication.
