Answer:

When a single gene is responsible for controlling multiple traits then the gene is said to be pleiotropic.

Explanation:

  • A pleiotropic gene is a gene that controls many functions and thus, a mutation in this single gene is going to show its effect in several traits.
  • Since, the gene responsible for white fur in cats is also responsible for eye colour and hearing and thus, it controls more than one trait and hence, it is pleiotropic.
