Every sex cell has one allele for each trait. after meiosis, pairs of chromosomes separate and alleles for each trait also separate into different sex cells.
No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.
A heterozygous male parent has two different alleles for a trait. During gamete formation, each sperm cell will carry one of the two alleles, either the dominant or recessive allele. This means that half of the sperm cells will carry one allele and the other half will carry the other allele.
Yes, most cells in the human body have two alleles for every gene that determine traits. These alleles come from each parent and are responsible for the variation in physical traits among individuals.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.

You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as alleles. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can determine a specific trait in an individual. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed.

If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.
When you have two identical alleles you are said to be homozygous for that particular trait. If the trait is dominant, then you are homozygous dominant. If the trait is recessive, then you are homozygous recessive.
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
alleles
A cell with two identical alleles for a particular gene is called homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene, one inherited from each parent, are the same. For example, if the alleles are for a trait like flower color, a homozygous cell could have two alleles for purple flowers. In contrast, a cell with two different alleles for a gene is called heterozygous.
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
