| 1. | Gene conversion can be one of the major forms of non-Mendelian inheritance.
|
| 2. | Gene conversion also aids in creating genetic variation in some cases.
|
| 3. | Ectopic gene conversion is the driving force for concerted evolution of gene families.
|
| 4. | Ectopic gene conversion occurs when one homologous DNA sequence is replaced by another.
|
| 5. | Gene conversion allows tandemly arrayed genes to become homogenized, or identical.
|
| 6. | Gene conversion is another example of a type of phase variation.
|
| 7. | In the process of gene transfer, allelic gene conversion is biased.
|
| 8. | The effective homology between the interacting sequences makes the gene conversion event successful.
|
| 9. | Thus studies of gene conversion allowed insight into the details of the molecular mechanism of recombination.
|
| 10. | This group of genes undergo gene conversion.
