genes
50% from each parent: one allele in each gene, each parent, for a total of two.
23 from each parent... that's a total of 46 genes from both parents :D
4 because the parent cell has four chromosomes arranged in 2 pairs. Each offspring has 4 chromosomes, one pair from each parent.
Some protists also can reproduce in pairs. Each member of the pair gives some hereditary material to the offspring. The ofspring are different from either parent. Hereditary refers to properties that are passed from parent to offspring.
One from each parent
Only half of each parent's alleles are passed to their children. This means that parent 1 who is Aa at one gene locus will only pass A or a on to each offspring. Parent 2 may be AA, aa or Aa and will also only pass one allele on to each offspring.
In sexual reproduction, two parents give rise to an offspring with an unique gene combination from either of them-each parent gives 1/2 of his/ her genes to the offspring. A Gene is a discrete unit of DNA that codes one protein, perhaps one of the many enzymes needed by our bodies.SOMATIC CELL have two sets of chromosomes; one set from each parent.
One homologous chromosomes in a pair from each parent
homozygous recessive
