Solution

The correct option is A Two
Genes are the chromosomal part that carries genetic information from one generation to another. Each gene has a pair of two contrasting alleles which is responsible for the effect of the gene in dominant and recessive traits. If seven characters of weight are there each will have two sites in the gene which shows recessive and dominant characters.
So, the correct option is 'Two'.
