Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Incomplete dominance is a type of allelic interaction in which neither of the alleles is able to complete dominance over the another.

It results in the blending of the two phenotypes.

For example, a cross between red and white flower plants results in the production of pink flower plant, that is, blending of red and white phenotype.

Similarly, hair type also shows the same type of inheritance in which the blending of curly and straight hair results in wavy hairs.

The same is explained below the help of Punnett square.

Ludmilka [50]

It happens because of Point mutation

Explanation:

A point mutation can be understood as when one nucleotide is added, deleted or changed. Through change in DNA structure a gene can be altered and it is called mutation. Point mutation’s other term is insertion as well as deletion. It mostly involves in substitution.

Rarely, Point mutation is responsible for huge change. Basically, two types of point mutation happen. They are transition or transversion mutations.

Name three environmental factors that can damage the genes that produce those enzymes
igor_vitrenko [27]
The following are the environmental factors that can damage genes that code for these enzymes. radiation from sun, various chemicals and x-rays. these agents are referred to as environmental mutagens. they result to changes in the genetic make up of the organism and in  turn affect the production of enzymes. enzymes are protein in nature and once the DNA has been compromised their production is affected. in most cases mutated DNA produces enzymes with lost or abnormal function.
