Organisms inherit their alleles from their parents. In sexual reproduction, the alleles are usually inherited from two parents. In asexual reproduction, the alleles are inherited from a single cell and are genetically identical to the parent.

Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
Why can multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes a for a trait?
It can provide different looks because each allele gives a different look
The number of alleles of a certain type divided by the total number of alleles is what?
Alleles Frequency
Is the three alleles of the single gene that controls blood type is said to be what alleles?
multiple alleles
Does sexual reproduction create new alleles or new combinations of alleles?
new combinations of alleles
What alleles do the f1 offspring have and why?
The alleles of the f1 offspring will depend on the alleles of the parents. In theory all of the alleles in the parental genotypes could be present in the f1 generation.To work out which combinations of alleles will be present in the f1 generation/the proportion with one allele etc. you would need to draw some kind of cross.AA x AaA AA AA AAa aA aASo the f1 offspring have both the A and a alleles, because the two alleles from each parent are separated into the gametesAA gives two gametes both with 'A' alleleAa gives on gamete with 'A' and one with 'a'
How are traits controlled by two alleles multiple alleles and multiple genes similar and different?
Each have a different genetic code that gives instruction to the brain and other cell bodies.
What does the science word multiple alleles mean?
it means two or more forms of an allele gives off a trait to its organism.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What are the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
When more than two different alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
The number of alleles of a certain type divided by the total number of alleles is what?
Alleles Frequency
Why can multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes a for a trait?
It can provide different looks because each allele gives a different look
Whose alleles decide whether the offspring will be male or female?
Whichever chromosome the stallion gives to the mare will decide if the foal will be a colt or a filly.
Compare homozygous alleles to heterozygous alleles?
When the alleles are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trait. While if the pair is made of two different alleles.
