Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?

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.

What is isogenic mutation?

Isogenic mutation refers to a genetic mutation that occurs in an organism's DNA, resulting in a change in a specific gene or genes. It is called isogenic because it affects only a specific gene in an otherwise identical genetic background. This type of mutation is often used in research to study the effects of a single gene mutation without any additional genetic variability.
