Gene amplification occurring as a result of specific metabolic stress will always be reversed once the stress has been removed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene amplification can lead to permanent changes in the genome and may not be reversible even after removal of the specific metabolic stress that triggered it. Additionally, certain types of gene amplification, such as oncogene amplification in cancer cells, may confer a survival advantage to the cells and hence may not be reversed.
