How many alleles does each person have for an autosomal gene?
Two, one from each parent.
A diploid organism contains how many copies of each gene?
2
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 can you use the concept of genetic inheritance to disprove Lamark's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
Lamarck's theory is disproved through many different examples of acquired characteristics. Anything that happens to a parent would be passed on to the offspring. Acoording to Lamarck, a parent that has tattoos would pass on the tattoos to the offspring. Loss of limb, injuries, cosmetic surgery or anything that changed in the parents would manifest in the offspring. This is not the case. Acquired characteristics are not passed on to offspring unless they change the gene sequence of the sex cells. Parents do not give physical characteristics to offspring, but do give the coding for those characteristics. The gene passes on the trait.
Each chromosome usually contains multiple genes true or false?
Can each chromosome usually contain multiple genes? yes each chromosome usually contains more than one gene.
How many alleles can be in each gene?
1
How many gene out of a gene pair does a plant that is not self pollinated get from each of its parents?
one from each parent out of a gene pair. Because each parents contributes fifty - fifty percent in the new offspring.
How many copies of each gene are in a gamete?
One.
How many copies of each gene are there on autosome?
8
How many alleles does each person have for an autosomal gene?
Two, one from each parent.
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.
How many variants of a gene can an offspring have?
One from each parent

Is birth contral bad?
Some religious fundamentalist of many kinds would say yes. Though many others would disagree.
How many allels per gene are there in each stage of meiosis?
there are the same number of alleles per gene in each stage of meiosis since the number of alleles per gene only tells the possible differences in a gene, such as the alleles for blue, green, and brown eyes being the possible traits to be combined.
