Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A mutation is a change or alteration in the sequence of the DNA of the organism which leads to change the function of the sequence.

The mutation is caused by many mechanisms but one of the mechanism is by adding or deleting the nucleotide in the sequence of the DNA.

The addition or deletion shifts the frame of the DNA while scanning it to form mRNA molecule which then codes a different protein. Therefore the type of mutation is known as "frameshift mutation".

In the given question, since the only deletion is provided therefore, option-D is the correct answer.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is the expression of phenotype of two paired alleles (i.e dominant and recessive allele) all together.

Usually when two alleles get paired, the characteristics of the dominant allele is expressed while the characteristics associated with recessive alleles are expressed only when the two recessive allele get paired.

Here in this case the characteristics of both type of allele are expressed i.e. both orange and purple strips appear in the offspring. Hence, this case shows the incomplete dominance.
