Around 40% of cats with white fur and blue eyes are deaf.

The gene responsible is pleiotropic means that one gene responsible for their deafness controls and affects multiple unrelated characteristics.

Pleiotropic gene action is what occurs when one gene affects two or more unrelated phenotypic characteristics or traits. An example of pleiotropic gene action occurs in Marfan syndrome (a human hereditary disorder). Marfan syndrome is caused as a result of a mutation in one gene which affects multiple features in the growth and development aspects such as height and the heart function.

Resource partitioning results in: a move from the realized niche to the fundamental niche for both species. individuals of each
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a move from the fundamental niche to the realized niche for both species.

Explanation:

The niche of an organism is the functional role of the organism in the community or the ecosystem as a whole. This include the environment an organism lives and all the jobs it does in it.

Fundamental niche refers to all the possible functional roles of an organism in an ecosystem while realized niche refers to the specific roles the organism is limited to as a result of resource limitation, competition or other factors.

Resource partitioning involves the division of limited resources among organisms so as to avoid competition within the niche.

<em>Hence, resource partitioning causes a move from the fundamental niche of an organism to the realized  niche of that organism. </em>
