Two genes that are almost always found in the same gamete are probably located near each other on the same chromosome. Crossing over is more likely to occur with genes that are farther apart on the same chromosome.

A gamete contains half the number of genes that the other body cells do.


Does a gamete only receive one allele or another from a pair?

A gamete receives one of two genes from one parent and one of two genes from the other parent.


The gamete that contains genes contributed only by the mother?

The egg is the gamete produced by the female.


Genes are found on which part of a cell?

Genes can be found in chromosomes. The cell nucleus of almost every cell contains chromosomes and genes. They contain the DNA and the gene shows as a section of the DNA.

What is Hypothesis that a gamete receives only one member of a pair of genes?

The hypothesis that a gamete receives only one member of a pair of genes is known as Mendel's law of segregation. This principle states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for each gene segregate independently from each other. This explains how genetic diversity is generated in offspring.


Mendel's dihybrid crosses but not his monohybrid crosses show that?

genes assort independently during gamete formation.


What did Mende find out about genes?

After performing his experiments on hybridization in garden pea Mendel concluded that (1) genes segregate in the next generation from parents to the offsprings and (2) the assortmant of genes is independent during gamete formation.


How many genes are in each gamete?

A gamete is, by definition, a single cell.In animals a male gamete is called a spermatozoon (plural spermatozoa), or simply sperm or sperm cell. A female gamete is an ovum (pl ova), or unfertilized egg. (A fertilized egg is a zygote.)In lower plants, such as mosses and ferns, the male gamete may be called a sperm or an antherozoid.In flowering plants, the male gamete is a nucleus within the pollen grain.


Where can genes be found in the body?

Genes are found on the DNA, which is located in the nucleus.


Compare any differences in the appearance of genes on chromosomes in gamete cells when crossing over occurs and when it does not occur?

When crossing over occurs during meiosis, the genes on homologous chromosomes can exchange segments, leading to genetic recombination and variations in offspring. This results in a shuffled arrangement of genes on the chromosomes of gamete cells. In contrast, when crossing over does not occur, the genes on homologous chromosomes remain in their original positions, resulting in no genetic recombination and less variation in offspring.


Where are the genes that determine gender found?

The genes that determines gender can be found in the Y chromosome.
