One dominate, one recessive
If a fern plant is heterozygous for a particular trait, it means it carries two different alleles for that trait. The alleles can be described as one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele will typically determine the physical expression of the trait, while the recessive allele will not be visibly expressed in the plant.
One or more pairs of alleles
one dominant, one recessive
If parents supply different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, the offspring are described as heterozygous for that trait. This means they possess two different alleles, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, if the offspring received the same allele from both parents, they would be termed homozygous for that trait. The expression of the trait may depend on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
An allele is one form of a gene. Alleles separate into separate sex cells during meiosis.
When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex
Every sex cell has one allele for each trait. after meiosis, pairs of chromosomes separate and alleles for each trait also separate into different sex cells.
Yes, most cells in the human body have two alleles for every gene that determine traits. These alleles come from each parent and are responsible for the variation in physical traits among individuals.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
