In eukaryotes,gene amplification is tolerated well when the amplified gene encodes for RNA products.However,it is rare or detrimental when the product is a protein.Why would it be advantageous for the cell to amplify the RNA-producing genes and not the protein-producing ones?
A)It allows for the manufacture of many RNA molecules when needed in the cell.
B)Proteins are amplified from a single mRNA molecule.
C)More RNA than protein is needed by the cell.
D)RNAs are amplified from a single protein molecule.
E)both choices A and B

Amplifying RNA-producing genes allows for the production of many RNA molecules, which is beneficial for cellular functions. Proteins can be produced in large quantities from a single mRNA, so amplifying protein-producing genes is not necessary and can be harmful.
