Question

Belgian Blue is a breed of cattle with overdeveloped muscle tissues. The excessive muscle development is due to O a mutation in myoD, a signaling molecule that normally functions to inhibit excessive muscle growth O the overexpression of a mitogen called proliferin that causes excessive proliferation of muscle cells. a mutation that increases the activity of Wee1 kinase, delaying the start of mitosis and allowing cells to grow more each cell cycle. O hideous GMO experiments, a classic example of a "Frankenfood". O a mutation in the Fas death receptor that impairs the programmed cell death program which normally eliminates half of all muscle cells during embryo development

Explanation / Answer

Belgian Blue is beef cattle that having natural mutation in Myostatin gene that encode for the myostatin protein. This myostatin protein is truncated in this species; and that protein inhibits the muscle formation as well as the fat deposition. So whatever the feed is given will help in the lean muscle growth. Therefore existing muscles will grow and become hypertrophic and later on hyperplasia condition will developed.

In this question first answer is correct.
