Question 2 4 pts A mutant allele of the apoE gene produces only 5% of the amount of mRNA produced by the wildtype allele. The apoE product participates in the control of blood lipids. The homozygous mutant has slightly elevated blood cholesterol compared to the heterozygote and wildtype homozygote with a normal diet, but has much higher levels with a high fat diet. Given this information, select all the terms below that correctly apply. HINT: there are FOUR.

Solution

1. Wildtype is haplo insuffieceint

2. complete dominance is exhibited between the alelles

3. mutation shows gain of function

4. The mutant allele is neomorphic
