Which of the following can result from the misalignment of highly repeated genes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Misalignment during crossing over of highly repeated genes can result in unequal exchange of genetic material, leading to unequal copy numbers between homologous chromosomes. This can result in gene duplications or deletions, which can have significant effects on the phenotype of an organism. This process is known as unequal crossing over. Biased gene conversion, parallel substitutions, the production of paralogs, and transitions may also occur due to misalignment, but they are not directly caused by it.
