Each gamete gets one gene from each trait?
Each reproductive cell (gamete) is 1N (the haploid chromosome count) which means it has a single allele for a genetic trait at each gene locus...this is based on the assumption that the trait is controlled at a single site. Polygenic traits, those controlled or modified at more than one locus, will have multiple alleles for a trait.
What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
What is gamate?
A reproductive cell having a single set of chromosomes, especially a mature sperm or egg. Isn't it supposed to be gamete? yes, it is spelled gamete.
What are different forms of a single gene called?
alleles
What does Mendel's law of segregation state?
A gene can exist in more than one form.Organisms inherit two alleles for each trait.When gametes are produced (by meiosis), allele pairs separate leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait.When the two alleles of a pair are different, one is dominant and the other is recessive.
Mendels law of segregation states that?
Mendels law of segregation states that alleles in the pair separate when gametes are formed.Mendel's law of segregation states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.There are four main concepts related to this principle. They are as follows:A gene can exist in more than one form.Organisms inherit two alleles for each trait.When gametes are produced (by meiosis), allele pairs separate leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait.When the two alleles of a pair are different, one is dominant and the other is recessive.
Allels separate from each other so that each gamete carries a single copy of a gene in what?
Linked genes are genes for different traits that are on the same chromosome do not assort independently. Therefore most of the time they move together during Meiosis one instead of separating from each other
A single individual carries how many alleles for a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits are controlled by several alleles. Some traits are simply one of many controlled by a single allele. It also depends and how you correlate the trait with the allele. Sometimes a completely unrelated allele can "turn on" or "turn off" other sets of alleles. This means that the number of alleles associated with a particular trait can ultimately be indeterminable by our current observational methods.

Why do gamete contain less chromosome than parent cells?
The gamete is supposed to join with another gamete, and combine their chromosomes into a single cell.
Is the three alleles of the single gene that controls blood type is said to be what alleles?
multiple alleles
What are both inherited alleles called?
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Single genes with two alleles, single genes with multiple alleles, and many genes that act together
What is the probability that a particular allele will be in a gamete?
chromosome segregationIf the character is governed by a single allele and it is dominant, than its probability to be in the gamete is 75%.
When both dominant and recessive alleles are present within a single nucleus the organism is for the trait?
You are supposed to have 2 alleles in a single nucleus and if not there can be a disorder i believe.
What is gamate?
A reproductive cell having a single set of chromosomes, especially a mature sperm or egg. Isn't it supposed to be gamete? yes, it is spelled gamete.
