A condition in which a single mutant gene affects more than one distinct characteristic of an individual is referred to as Pleiotropy.
<h3>What is Pleiotropy?</h3>
- Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits.
- Such a gene that exhibits multiple phenotypic expressions is called a Pleiotropic gene.
- Pleiotropy can arise from several distinct but potentially overlapping mechanisms, such as gene pleiotropy, developmental pleiotropy, and selectional pleiotropy.
- An example of pleiotropy is phenylketonuria.
- So, when a single trait mutant gene controls more than one trait it is called Pleiotropy and it can cause the various syndrome.

Answer:
C) a carbohydrate that takes longer to break down in the body puts less sugar into your bloodstream
Explanation:
Whole grains are a more complex carbohydrate than your basic white bread, meaning it takes longer to break down and doesn't flood your bloodstream with sugar the way white bread does when eaten. (also, the other three are not very closely related to/answer the question)
Answer:
Organism.
Explanation:
The cell is the smallest form of life. Cells work together to form tissues, tissues work together to form organs, and organs work together to create an organ system, and organ systems work together to create organisms. I believe "organism" includes all of these other levels.
Correct answer - A.
Why? - A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
