How many alleles does a body cell have for each trait?
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.
What makes people have personality types?
It happens because of the surroundings and people can also inherit them from their parents.
What eye color will a baby have if bother parents have blue?
There is a high probably that the child would inherit blue eyes. But if the parents are also carries of other eye colour genes. They could inherit a different eye colour if both parents carry the same other colour gene.
If the father has sickle cell trait and the mother doesnt will their children have sickle cell trait?
No. The trait that causes sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait, which means that if both parents have the trait, there is a 1/4 chance their child will have it. The child can be a carrier however and not display symptoms, but there is no way for a child to get sickle cell from parents that don't have the gene.
Can you inherit shyness?
Shyness can have genetic components but is also influenced by environmental factors. While you may inherit a predisposition to shyness from your parents, experiences and upbringing can also play a significant role in shaping your personality and level of shyness.
What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?
Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
Does a child inherit what they are good at from teir parents?
No. This is something that is learned. They may grow up in a family that has a talent and by living around it learn it, but it does not come as an inherited trait. If that was the case it would also apply to bad things as well as good. If we took this logic to the final step it would mean that the children of people who murder would also murder.
Do you inherit cells from your parents?
No, you inherit DNA from your parents; some from each of them.The way human reproduction works, you inherit one cell from each parent, which are the male and female gametes, also known as a sperm cell and an egg cell or ovum, and when the join, they form a single cell called a zygote. The zygote then undergoes cell division and grows into a fetus.
Can two O neg people have an A plus baby?
NO. The alleles that lead to "O-type" blood are recessive to the alleles that lead to "A-type" blood and the child would have to inherit this "A" from one of his/her parents. Given that both parents are "O", there is nobody to inherit the "A" from. (This issue also presents with the exclusive RH- in the parents and RH+ in the child, because RH+ is dominant over the recessive RH-.)
What is the probability that the children will be heterozygous?
Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.
What is a trait in inherited by several genes called?
it can be DNA(deoxy rbo nucleic acid). some chracterstics of parents can also be inherited
What are the parent's genotypes when her parents has it but she doesn't?
It means that both parents have heterozygous genotype for a dominant trait, so they exhibit the dominant phenotype, but they each passed on the recessive allele to their daughter, so she has the homozygous recessive genotype, and therefore has the recessive phenotype, or trait. She could also have had a nondisjunction on one of the chromosomes inherited from her parents. She could have been adopted.
