1 allele per parent per gene .................

that is wrong you inherit 23 alleles from each parent in total of 46 alleles

no sorry that's chromosomes.

its true the second person was talking about chromosomes the first one is correct

How many alleles does an offspring inherit?

An offspring inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).


Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?

Sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from their parents. Offspring receive one copy of each gene from each parent, leading to genetic variation.


How many alleles does parent pass to an offspring for each trait?

5


Mendel's theory says that an offspring never gets both trait-controllers from the same parent which of his laws state this?

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that each parent contributes only one allele for each trait to their offspring, and these alleles segregate during gamete formation. This means that offspring do not receive both trait-controlling alleles from the same parent.


If offspring receive two sets of instructions for each characteristic how are the offspring's traits determined?

Offspring inherit two sets of instructions, or alleles, for each characteristic—one from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive, and the combination of these alleles determines the offspring's traits. If a dominant allele is present, it typically masks the effect of a recessive allele, leading to the expression of the dominant trait. The specific combination of alleles received from both parents ultimately shapes the offspring's phenotype.


How many sets of the same gene that governs a characteristics do offsprings receive?

Offspring receive two sets of the same gene that governs a characteristic, one from each parent. These sets are called alleles, and they can be the same or different. The combination of alleles inherited can determine the traits expressed in the offspring.


Why does each parent organism in the F1 generation have four alleles?

They don't. Each parent should only have two.. One from each of their parents.


What percent of each alleles does each parent contribute to their offspring?

50% from each parent: one allele in each gene, each parent, for a total of two.


What are all the possible combinations of alleles that each F1 parent can pass on to the offspring?

Each parent can pass on one of two alleles for each gene to their offspring. This results in four possible combinations: A-B, A-b, a-B, and a-b, where A and a represent alleles from one gene and B and b represent alleles from another gene.


How many alleles do parents contribute to their offspring during reproduction?

Parents each contribute one allele for each gene to their offspring during reproduction. This means that offspring inherit two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.


Where the alleles for given trait are inherited from?

The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.


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'
