No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.

How many alleles for 1 trait do you get from your mother?

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.


How many alleles does a gamete have for each trait and is it a haploid or diploid?

A gamete carries one allele for each trait, making it haploid. Since gametes are sex cells that fuse during fertilization to form a zygote, which is diploid, they contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells.

How many alleles for one trait can an individual have?

An individual can have a maximum of two alleles for one trait, as they inherit one allele from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) for a specific trait.


How many alleles does a body cell have for each trait?

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.


How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?

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.


Why can multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes for a trait?

Multiple alleles can provide many different phenotypes for a trait because each allele can code for a different version of a trait, leading to a wide range of possible combinations and variations in the expression of that trait.

How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?

Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.


Why can multiple alleles result in many different phenotypes for a trait?

Multiple alleles can result in many different phenotypes for a trait because each allele codes for a different version of a gene, leading to a variety of possible combinations and expressions of traits in an individual.


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.
