Genetic Deletions and Duplications
Deletions of genetic material can lead to severe consequences, including non-viable embryos when entire chromosomes are missing. While deletions are typically irreversible, duplications can occur due to errors during DNA synthesis, particularly in repetitive sequences, resulting in complex genetic loops. Understanding these processes sheds light on the intricate nature of genetic stability and variation.In this clip
