Answer:

Option D, The mutation will be expressed only if the individual has two copies of the recessive allele

Explanation:

A characteristic or trait associated with a dominant allele is expressed when the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous dominant .

But a characteristic or trait associated with a recessive allele is expressed only when the genotype is  homozygous recessive. Homozygous recessive means that an individual must have a genotype that has two copies of the recessive allele.

For example

If R represents dominant red color of flower and r represents the recessive white color of flower, then genotye "RR" and "Rr" represents homozygous & heterozygous dominant genotype respectively.

While "rr" represents the homozygous recessive genotype.

Thus, option D is correct
