{"knowledge_schema": {"broad_category": "Biology \u2192 Genetics \u2192 Evolutionary Biology", "refinement": "This problem focuses on the mechanisms that influence the fate of duplicate genes in eukaryotic organisms.", "specific_scope": "The question specifically asks about the processes that lead to the retention and functional divergence of duplicate genes after gene duplication events.", "goal": "Identify the mechanism that best explains how duplicate genes can be retained and diverge in function within eukaryotic genomes."}, "summary": "This question pertains to the evolutionary mechanisms that affect duplicate genes in eukaryotic genomes. It asks which mechanism is most responsible for the retention and functional divergence of these genes. The options include various processes such as gene conversion, pseudogenization, neofunctionalization, subfunctionalization, and adaptive radiation. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for grasping how genetic redundancy can lead to new functions and adaptations in organisms."}
