👉 Heterometatrophic is a biological term that refers to a type of cell with multiple copies of the same gene. This can occur when two or more cells contain the same particular gene, but have different functional roles due to chromosomal duplication. In other words, each cell has its own copy of the gene, which is potentially duplicated and may have different functions depending on the specific context in which it occurs. This phenomenon is particularly common in organisms that have undergone somatic or meiotic recombination
