That's like asking "how fast do you have to run to win a race." The short answer is, it depends. It could be one. It could be many. Often just one new protein spells the difference beween life and death.
​
Indeed the answer could be 'none at all'. A minor change within a proteins structure or a slight change in its pattern and timing of expression during development could easily provide a substrate for natural selection.
