gene duplication occurs when an error in DNA replication leads to the duplication of a region of DNA containing a functional gene. The duplicated gene is free to mutate and may take on new functions. The two genes that exists after a gene duplication event are termed paralogous genes, or paralogs. Gene duplication may have a major role in evolution

Generally, the production of two copies of a DNA sequence. Specifically, the duplication of an entire gene sequence.
