Gene Vellow Pigment ,in some plants White By-product ENZYME Rabbits that have the active form of this gene produce white-colored fat. Rabbits who have the defective form of this gene produce yellow- colored fat. However, there is an environmental complication of this trait. (See the following questions.) 1. If a rabbit that has the active form of the gene is fed plants with the pigment, what color is its fat? 2. If a rabbit with the defective gene is fed plants with the pigment, what çolor is its fat?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
