Which of the following statements about gene families is false?
 
  (a) Because gene duplication can occur when crossover events occur, genes are always duplicated onto homologous chromosomes.
  (b) Not all duplicated genes will become functional members of gene families.
  (c) Whole-genome duplication can contribute to the formation of gene families.
  (d) Duplicated genes can diverge in both their regulatory regions and their coding regions.
