| 1. | This gene encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family.
|
| 2. | This gene is a member of the polynucleotide cytosine deaminase gene family.
|
| 3. | Gene families have an optimal size range that natural selection acts towards.
|
| 4. | The process by which gene families maintain high homogeneity is Concerted evolution.
|
| 5. | Gene families are groups of related genes that share a common ancestor.
|
| 6. | Unequal crossing over leads to the expansion and contraction of gene families.
|
| 7. | Alternative splicing seems to be a common mechanism in this gene family.
|
| 8. | This gene encodes a member of the kinesin light chain gene family.
|
| 9. | Gene families are highly variable in size, sequence diversity, and arrangement.
