Some scientists suggest that this result may have been caused by selection for gene amplification and/or a higher mutation rate in cells unable to divide.
Overexpression can happen in one of three ways: as a result of gene amplification, impaired protein degradation, or chromosomal translocation.
Somatic recombination, gene amplification and cancer.
Chronic treatment with physiological concentrations of ethanol (0.36%, 1.36%) induces micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, and nuclear buds, which are indicative of chromosome loss and breakage, chromosome rearrangement and gene amplification, respectively.
Gene amplification occurs in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the difference consisting in the ribosomal gene amplification mechanism.
