What happens when a single gene has two alleles?
Two alleles represent a gene. ETC- The paternal (fathers) allele is B (for brown eyes) The mothers (maternal) is b ( for blue eyes) The capital B is the dominant allele, lowercase b is recessive. Therefore, a punnet square will show the offspring can be either hetrozygous or homozygous (recessive or dominant) Alleles represent the charactersitic, while a gene is a segment of DNA where heredity is based.

Each egg has a 1/4 chance of having blue long, blue short, orange long, or orange short combinations.

Which of the following statements about a gene that shows maternal effect inheritance is true?
Offspring will show a mutant phenotype if the mother has a mutant genotype.
What could cause a mutant fly embryo to develop two tail ends but no head?
This is called bicoid mutant phenotype, and is caused by a maternal effect gene which is a gene that, when mutant in the mother, results in a mutant phenotype of the offspring regardless of the offspring's genotype.

How is it possible for someone to carry a disorder but not actually have it?
This most commonly occurs if the disorder is recessive, meaning you must carry two copies of the gene which causes the disorder in order to show it.Everyone has two copies of each gene, one paternal and one maternal. If you only carry one copy (allele) of the gene which causes the recessive disorder and your other copy of that gene is normal, you will not have the disorder. However, you can carry it on if you have a child with someone else who also carries the gene which causes the disorder and the child gets two copies of the disorder gene.
