Choose the correct phrase to complete the biology student's fun fact.

Despite what cartoon cats might suggest, a real feline ______ sweet things because of a genetic mutation.

The correct answer is doesn't taste.

To form the negative Present Simple for a third-person singular subject ("a real feline" = it), we use doesn't (does not) followed by the base form of the verb (taste). We do not add an "-s" to the main verb in negative sentences.
