Correct Answer: Pleiotropic


Solution : The correct option is - Pleiotropic.

Pleiotropy is the phenomena that occurs when a single gene begins to influence several features in living things. Pleiotropy may be the outcome of a gene mutation. Phenylketonuria is one condition that exhibits pleiotropy in humans. Phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme required for converting phenylalanine, an essential amino acid, to tyrosine, is lacking in people with this condition.
