To review:

The inference drawn by scientists after observing a defective gene in the feline family that is used to identify the sweet taste.

Introduction:

Vertebrates have chemoreceptors that are located in the mouth. These chemoreceptors are present in the form of taste buds. Different types of taste buds are able to detect different types of tastes. About 10,000 taste buds are present in the mouth, throat, and upper roof of the mouth in human beings. In some animals like cats, certain genes that encode for particular taste receptors are missing.
