Repeated genes are useful

  1. Against mutations

  2. Formation of pseudogenes

  3. Formation of multiple copies of a product

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Repeated DNA sequences can act as more or less discrete elements in the genome. They can vary in the number of copies of repeat units from one chromosome to the next (polymorphism). The repeat copy number can expand through a unique form of mutation process referred to as ‘dynamic mutation.’ They are useful in the formation of pseudogenes and also in making multiple copies of a product.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'
