Let me guess.. you have the vocabulary worksheet for chapter 4 patterns of heredity too?
The answer:
Allele :D
A diploid organism contains two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. The two copies may be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) for a particular gene.
Actually, heterozygous individuals have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one allele inherited from each parent. This contrasts with homozygous individuals, who have two identical alleles for a specific gene.
Each person has two alleles for an autosomal gene, one inherited from each parent. These two alleles together determine an individual's genotype for that gene.
They don't. Each parent should only have two.. One from each of their parents.
Humans have two copies of each gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent.

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.
A hybrid individual inherits one allele from each parent for a particular gene. These alleles can be different versions of the same gene, which result in the hybrid individual having a combination of traits from each parent.
Each person has two alleles for an autosomal gene, one inherited from each parent. These two alleles together determine an individual's genotype for that gene.
They don't. Each parent should only have two.. One from each of their parents.
50% from each parent: one allele in each gene, each parent, for a total of two.
Through genetics, you have two alleles(different versions for a gene) for each gene, one from each parent
Each parent is heterozygous for the gene.
Humans have two copies of each gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent.
You inherit one allele for each gene from each of your parents. This means that for each gene, you receive two alleles in total - one from your mother and one from your father.
Typically, there are two alleles present in a gene, one inherited from each parent.
