Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Two
1. Both the father and the mother contribute practically equal amounts of genetic material. 2. Each trait can therefore be influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA. 3. So for each trait there will be two versions in each child. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 9 'Heredity and Evolution'_
