Please answer the attached question thank you ZCIf a population of white throated sparrows was found in a muchwarmer climate, where homozygous white throated individuals(super white throats) were as common as homozygous tanindividuals, what could you conclude?White alleles are poisonousWhite alleles have environmental dependent expressionWhite alleles are nonsense mutationsWhite alleles code for stop codonszd.If there is a gain-of-function mutation in the white throat allele,what might you expect to happen [more than one can be correct]?Sparrow party to celebrate the new functionIncreased numbers of homozygous white individualsIncreased numbers of white-striped inidividuals breeding withwhite-striped individualsLots of researchers wondering why tan-striped individualscan't breed with each other Za White throated sparrows have a super gene on chromosome 2.Supergenes are clusters of physically linked, co-evolving genesthat often control complex traits (Campagna 2016 Current Biologyhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.12.005). Super genes, such asin white throated sparrows, can be caused by inversions.Tan-striped(TS)White-striped(WS)(Figure from Maney et al. 2020 Hormones and Behaviour,10.1016/j.yhbeh.2020.104850)How do inversions cause super genes?☐There is so much extra genetic material that mutations aremore common00☐Inversions make chromosomes bigger, aka superInversions bring genes that weren't originally together intocontactInversions can affect recombination, so haplotypes are formedand maintained2b.White throated sparrows have been called 'the bird with four sexes'because of their supergene. Within white throated sparrows thereis 'disassortative mating' for alleles at this super gene - everybreeding pair has one individual who has a tan throat, and oneindividual with a white throat (Tuttle et al. 2016, Current Biology,http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.11.069). Tan striped sparrowsare homozygous whereas white striped sparrows are heterozygous.From this, we conclude which of the following about the supergene:0000White throat homozygotes could be inviableTan alleles are haploinsufficentWhite alleles are 'poisonous'Multiple genes in the super gene are interacting
