The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Recessive mutation is not expressed in," we need to analyze the genetic conditions under which recessive mutations manifest. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand Recessive Mutations Recessive mutations are expressed only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous condition). If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele (heterozygous condition), the dominant trait will mask the expression of the recessive trait.
