The data that led the researchers conclude that whales cannot taste umami, sweet, bitter, or sour.

Concept introduction:

The taste genes of the whale are present in the cell membrane of the taste receptors cells. These cells contain the protein which is encoded by the taste genes. There are two types of taste genes present in the whales that are T1R (taste receptor type 1) an T2R (taste receptor type 2). The T1R encode for the umami, and sweet taste receptors, and T2R encodes for the bitter taste receptor.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
