Answer:

The correct answer is "A single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing".

Explanation:

A gene that is pleiotropic affects the phenotype at different traits. One example of pleiotropic gene is found on cats, where a single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing. There is still no scientific consensus of how the gene affects the two traits, but there is evidence in mice that suggest that the gene that affects pigmentation affects the maintenance of fluids in ear canals.

What do you conclude about the uniformity of cytoplasmic streaming?
SOVA2 [1]

The cytoplasmic streaming can be defined as the movement of the cytoplasm inside the cell. This movement of the cytoplasm helps in the delivery of the metabolites, organelles, and nutrients to all the parts of a cell. The cytoplasmic streaming, which is also known as cyclosis, occurs at the same rate throughout the cell and moves in the direction of the light.

Hence, the answer is 'moves at same rate and towards light'.
