The diagram shows the variation in a group of ladybirds. These variations cause different characteristics: the colour of the wing cases, the number of spots, and the body size. Variation is caused by genes, or by the environment, or by a combination of genes and the environment. Write down one characteristic shown in the diagram that is determined only by genes.
