Answer to Question 1

This gene has negative effects on the quality of meat, causing it to be more acidic than normal. This
reduces the water-holding capacity of the meat, which causes some loss for packers and processors.



Answer to Question 2

number of pigs born alive, number weaned, 21-day litter weight, growth rate to 250 pounds, back fat
adjusted to the 250 pound weight, feed conversion, and carcass data
