Best Answer

Gametes come in two forms, sperm (the 'male' gamete) and eggs (the 'female' gamete). Each of these gametes only contain half the number of chromosomes that the main organism's cells have, because these cells combine both male and female to create new organisms.

How does Conjugation differ from reproduction?

Conjugation does not differ from reproduction as it one of the ways of sexual production. This is where the male and female gametes combine for purposes of reproduction.


How does write statement differ from writeln statement?

I think you mean written statement. What you are asking about write statement you are confusing with written statement, the same with write in statement. A written statement is simply putting your words, or your version of events in writing.


Two ways multiple alleles and polygenic traits differ?

Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.


What is Having two unlike genes for the same trait?

Why does the expected genotypic ratio often differ from the expected phenotypic ratio from monohybrid cross?

Because in heterozygotes, both alleles are transcribed and translated.
