The TAS2R38 gene encоdes а receptоr prоtein thаt influences the аbility to taste bitterness. The gene has two alleles: a dominant, wild-type allele that enables an individual (taster) to taste bitterness and a recessive, mutant allele that interferes with the ability of an individual (nontaster) to taste bitterness. Three single nucleotide mutations in the coding region of the TAS2R38 gene are associated with the nontaster allele. The nucleotides present at the three positions are shown in the table below. Nucleotide Variation in the TAS2R38 Gene Position in the Nucleotide Sequence 145 785 886 Human nontaster G T A Human taster C C G Bonobo C C G Chimpanzee C C G Gorilla C C G A cladogram representing the evolutionary relatedness of selected primates is shown below. From left to right, the branches are as follows: Orangutan, Gorilla, and Chimpanzee. Past the branches, the main line is labeled Human. Another branch, labeled Bonobo, is connected to the Chimpanzee branch. Toxic substances often have a bitter taste that causes animals who try to eat such substances to spit them out rather than swallow them. Additional data suggest that gorilla populations have a very low frequency of nontasters. Which of the following best describes the likely evolution of the TAS2R38 locus in the gorilla population?
