Geneamplificationoccurs in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the difference consisting in the ribosomalgeneamplificationmechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Chronic treatment with physiological concentrations of ethanol (0.36%, 1.36%) induces micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, and nuclear buds, which are indicative of chromosome loss and breakage, chromosome rearrangement andgeneamplification, respectively.
Overexpression can happen in one of three ways: as a result ofgeneamplification, impaired protein degradation, or chromosomal translocation.
