∙ 12y agoAlleles. Different molecular forms of the same gene. Can be more alleles than a pair, though. Blood types, for instance. A, B, O.

∙ 6y agoA pair of alleles for a trait are the genotype for that trait, and determine the expression (phenotype) of the trait.

How many genes does an offspring receive from each parent for a trait?
23 from each parent... that's a total of 46 genes from both parents :D
Does each egg and sperm contain different collection of genes?
Yes - they each carry half the genes needed to make a complete zygote.
What is a DNA job?
to put it simply as possible DNA (or Deoxyribonucleic Acid) form up genes which carry on looks, ect from your parents to you. you get an equal amount of genes from each of your parents
How does evolution affect us?
Very slowly. Each generation has some differences from the preceding generations. The survivors from one generation pass their genes on to subsequent ones. A trait that increases survival rate is passed on more frequently than a trait which is detrimental to procreation.
Why do insecticide resistant organisms develop?
Evolution. Each generation has some differences from the preceding generations. The survivors from one generation pass their genes on to subsequent generations. A trait that increases survival rate (resistance to an insectide) is passed on more frequently than a trait which is detrimental to procreation.
What is the name each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same information about a trait?
the name is hybrids

How many genes for each trait dose an offspring get from each parent?
2(:
Each trait of a plant is determined by?
Each trait characteristic of a plant is determined by epigenetic marks. Epigenetic marks affect flowering time and architecture in plants, and these marks are passed on for many generations.
What is name of the two genes one on each chromosome of a pair that control the same trait are called?
genes
For each trait there are allele possibilities?
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
What is a principle or law of heredity which states that for each trait there are two copies of the gene or genes that are responsible for the trait?
Mendel's Law Of Segregation
Does each egg and sperm contain different collection of genes?
Yes - they each carry half the genes needed to make a complete zygote.
A typical gene contains the instructions for making?
It depends. Some genes determine a single trait all by themselves. Some genes work with other genes to make a trait. It takes several separate genes to determine how tall you will be. And then there are other genes that by themselves determine multiple traits. Each gene is the code for a peptide chain. Many of those become proteins.
Based on his experiments Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two?
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
What is one set of instructions for an inherited trait?
The gametes (sex cells) that combine to form a new organism in sexual reproduction each contain one set of the instructions for the genes of the new organism, that is, one set each for each trait.
How is it possible that multiple genes are capable of handling many characters in human?
Each gene in any organism or virus is a section of DNA that controls a physical trait. There is a gene for every trait in a human that you can think of. Since humans have many traits, it takes multiple genes to cause them.
