Do most cells in your body have alleles for every trait?
Most cells in your bodies have alleles for every trait. Some are dominant while others are in dominant alleles. Albinism is an example of a dominant allele.
The two alleles for a trait seperate when gametes are formed?
Yes, since a gamete is haploid and carries only one chromosome with that allele in question on it. This is called the law of segregation.
Each gamete gets one gene from each trait?
Each reproductive cell (gamete) is 1N (the haploid chromosome count) which means it has a single allele for a genetic trait at each gene locus...this is based on the assumption that the trait is controlled at a single site. Polygenic traits, those controlled or modified at more than one locus, will have multiple alleles for a trait.
A gamete contains how many allele?
There is only one allele for each trait that goes into a gamete. This happens after meiosis as well. This process allows for DNA to be the same over time as reproduction continues.
What was medels specific law where a diploid organism transfers only one allele to its gametes?
The law of segregation, which states that the two alleles for an inherited trait segregate (separate from each other) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.

For a givin trait how many alleles does a normal gamete have?
1000000
What process causes gametes to have only one allele?
In sexual reproduction each parent contributes only one allele to the offspring. This is why meiosis takes diploid cells and makes them haploid. The process meiosis separates the homologous pairs, separating the alleles from each other. Thus, each gamete produced has only one allele for each trait. When the male gamete (sperm) fuses with the female gamete (egg) and fertilization takes place, the resulting zygote has two alleles; one from the father and one from the mother.

Cells containg two alleles for each trait are described as?
diploid.

What are the two alleles that control the appearance of a trait?
Dominant and Recessive Alleles Diploid organisms typically have two alleles for a trait. When allele pairs are the same, they are homozygous. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, the phenotype of one trait may be dominant and the other recessive.
What is an organism that carries two different alleles for one trait?
In one sense it is called a Diploid Organism.

What organism has two different alleles for a trait?
[I'm not sure if you are looking for examples or a classification, but] Diploid Organisms have two copies of every gene (so they have two alleles for every trait). We are examples, so are most, if not all, Animals, and the longer portion of many Plant life cycles is also in the diploid state.
What is the principle of independence party?
the law of independent assortment was formulated by Mendel. Alleles separate independently during the process of gamete production. The offspring show traits independent of the parents.
