Assume you started with a single gene for myoglobin but, because
of a gene duplication that spread through the population, you ended
up with 2 copies of that myoglobin gene in every cell of every
individual. Based on what you know about evolution and speciation,
describe, in simple terms, using your own words, how the two copies
could diverge over time so that eventually one of them takes on a
new function. Assume you started with a single gene for myoglobin
