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.

Alleles separate from each other so that each gamete carries a single copy of a gene in?
segergation
WHAT is single gene trait?
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
Each physical trait of an organism is produced by the instructions of a?
Gene
How many copies of a gene does each somatic cell have?
One. A gamete is a haploid cell containing one copy of each chromosome (23 in humans). Each chromosome contains one copy of each gene. Therefore, a gamete contains one copy of each gene.
How many genes does an offspring receive from each parent for a trait?
23 from each parent... that's a total of 46 genes from both parents :D
What is it when each gamete gets one gene for each trait?
Independent assortment
How many copies of each gene are in a gamete?
One.

Does body cells need one gene for each trait?
YES

What is the gene that codes for a particular trait is known as what?
An allele is a gene for a specific trait. Cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
Are blue eyes a dominant trait?
no they are a recessive gene. You would receive a blue gene from each parent
How many alleles does a normal gamete have?
Normal gametes should contain one allele from each gene.
Is a gene a genotype that is not mixed?
No. A gene is a part of the DNA that identifies the outcome of a certain trait or part of a trait. A genotype is the actual definition of the gene for each individual.
How many genes does an offspring receive from each parent for a trait?
23 from each parent... that's a total of 46 genes from both parents :D
