The correct answer is:
One
In heterozygous condition, the alleles express based on their dominance and recessiveness. The characters do not blend in this condition.
The mutation is caused by any change in the sequence of the DNA. Even if there is a change in a single base pair, it will lead to mutation.
Sex determination in insects is based on genetic constitution. In insects, male are heterozygous having XO and female are homozygous have XX chromosomal pairing.
Cancer occurs when the cells start to multiple indefinitely and uncontrollably. Cancer can occur due to mutation or aberrations in the chromosomes.
