What else can I help you with?
What is the gene that codes for a particular trait is known as what?
An allele is a gene for a specific trait. Cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
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.
Who always wins a dominant gene or a recessive gene?
A dominant gene will be expressed over a recessive gene when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait determined by the dominant gene will be expressed in the individual's phenotype.
Each sex cell now contains blank allele for each trait?
Each sex cell now contains one allele for each trait. This is because sex cells are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes with one allele for each gene. During fertilization, two sex cells will combine to form a diploid zygote with two alleles for each trait.
Is a gene a genotype that is not mixed?
No. A gene is a part of the DNA that identifies the outcome of a certain trait or part of a trait. A genotype is the actual definition of the gene for each individual.
Do most cells in your body have alleles for every trait?
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.
How does meiosis ensure that each reproductive cells cells only gets gets one gene for each trait?
Meiosis is a two-step division process that results in four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This ensures that each reproductive cell only receives one gene for each trait because the genetic material is randomly separated in the first division and then segregated in the second division, leading to genetic diversity in the offspring.
What best describes the law of independent assortment?
When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex
WHAT is single gene trait?
A single gene trait is a specific characteristic or phenotype that is influenced by the expression of a single gene. This means that the presence or absence of a particular trait is determined by variations in one specific gene. Examples include earlobe attachment, hair color, and tongue rolling.
Are blue eyes a dominant trait?
no they are a recessive gene. You would receive a blue gene from each parent
What is arecessive trait?
A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.
What does Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as?
Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as alleles. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can determine a specific trait in an individual. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
