A third mutant allele of gene B (allele b³)causes the frogs' eyes to become green, instead of their normal red color.Normally, gene B effects only skin color.What term describes this allele? A)Hypermorphic B)Neomorphic C)Hypomorphic D)Amorphic E)Haploinsufficient

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neomorphic alleles result in the gene product acquiring a new function or expressing at a time or place where it is not normally expressed. In this case, the mutant allele causes a change in eye color, which is a new function not associated with the normal activity of gene B, which affects skin color.
