Practice question
Question
Callipyge gene mutation in sheep leads to increased muscle growth. The gene presents a typical case of Polar over-dominance. Which of the four genotypes given below shows increased muscle growth? (N= wild type allele, C= mutant allele for callipyge)
Explanation
Mechanistically, metabolic engineering and inheritance involves exogenous gene introduction and pathway extension enable trait improvement. This validates N ᵐᵃᵗ C ᵖᵃᵗ because it demonstrates metabolic extension and combinatorial biosynthesis, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in genetics and biotechnology research.
