sometimes one, sometimes more than one.
If a gene has only one allele, it can produce only one trait, as there are no alternative forms of the gene to create variation. This means that all individuals with that allele will express the same trait associated with it. However, the expression of that trait can still be influenced by other genetic factors and environmental conditions.
A gene with one completely dominant allele and two recessive alleles can produce two different traits. The dominant allele will express its trait regardless of whether it is paired with another dominant or a recessive allele, while the two recessive alleles will express their trait only when paired together. Therefore, the possible combinations of alleles result in one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.
For a person to express a recessive trait, such as having a big thumb, they must inherit two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. This means that both parents must either be carriers of the recessive allele (heterozygous) or express the trait themselves (homozygous recessive). If a person has a big thumb, it indicates that they possess the recessive alleles from both parents.
The genotype AAbb can produce only one type of organism, which is homozygous for the recessive b allele and heterozygous for the dominant A allele. This means that all offspring will express the dominant trait associated with the A allele while being homozygous recessive for the b trait. Therefore, the only phenotypic variation would depend on the interaction of other genotypes present in the breeding population.
Mendel examined one trait at a time in his pea plant experiments. For each trait, he had two choices: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Therefore, there were two choices for each pea plant trait that Mendel examined.
An individual can have a maximum of two alleles for one trait, as they inherit one allele from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) for a specific trait.

A gene with one completely dominant allele and one recessive allele can produce two different traits in a population. Individuals with two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) and those with one dominant and one recessive allele (heterozygous) will exhibit the dominant trait, while only individuals with two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive) will display the recessive trait. Therefore, the two traits produced are the dominant trait and the recessive trait.
Multiple alleles can provide many different phenotypes for a trait because each allele can code for a different version of a trait, leading to a wide range of possible combinations and variations in the expression of that trait.
It depends on the trait. Some traits are controlled by several alleles. Some traits are simply one of many controlled by a single allele. It also depends and how you correlate the trait with the allele. Sometimes a completely unrelated allele can "turn on" or "turn off" other sets of alleles. This means that the number of alleles associated with a particular trait can ultimately be indeterminable by our current observational methods.
The offspring will all inherit one copy of the dominant allele (from the heterozygous parent) and one copy of the recessive allele (from the homozygous recessive parent). This results in all offspring being heterozygous for the trait.
