Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits. DNA replication is an essential process and the basic mechanism is conserved in all organisms.

Homologous chromosomes exchange DNA during meiosis in a process called crossing-over. Crossing-over sometimes involves an unequal swapping of DNA. Basically one chromosome in the pair gets extra DNA.

Can you make a better plant by cloning?

Not really, cloning is the process of exactly copying an organism - which is done vegetative propagation of plants. This does not produce a better plant only an exact duplicate of the one that is being copied gene splicing and selective cross-pollination would produce a better plant


Why is gene duplication seen as potentially event in evolution of species?

Yes. When a gene is duplicated you have one gene doing the job it was doing before and the possibility of the duplicated gene having a beneficial mutation and picking up a brand new job to do and making a newly beneficial protein. Of course if the mutation is deleterious that organism will not pass those genes on any further than progeny. Remember, only germline mutation are passed on to future generations.
