Gene duplication is a type of mutation that can add genes to a chromosome. During gene duplication, a segment of DNA is copied and inserted into the chromosome, leading to an increase in the number of copies of a particular gene. This can result in gene families with multiple copies of a gene that may evolve new functions over time.
