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.

What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?
1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"
The ability to use the nucleus from an adult somatic cell to create all of the cell types in a new organism demonstrates that development depends upon?
The control of gene expression.
A diploid organism contains how many copies of each gene?
2
What is an example of a disease that might be treated using gene therapy?
It can be used to treat defects in somatic that is (body)or gametic (sperm or eggs) cell
What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?
If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.
Are the two copies of each gene in your body always the same?
yes. all of your cell have the same gene.
Why do humans typically have to copies or alleles of each gene Hint Human somatic cells are diploid?
No only human, all animal have two copies because they receive one copy from the father and one copy from the mother. Gametes ( sperm and ovum) are no complete cell, they only have half of the cromosome.
What kinds of somatic cell gene mutations can frequently lead to the first stages of cancer?
Proto-oncogene is the kind of somatic cell gene mutation that can lead to first stages of cancer. Proto-oncogene can lead to cellular transformation.
How many copies of each gene do you have?
Humans typically have two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. This pairing of genes allows for genetic diversity and a variety of possible gene combinations. Some genes may have multiple copies or variations, but in general, humans have two copies of most genes.
How many copies of each gene are in a gamete?
One.
How many copies of each gene are there on autosome?
8
Are alleles recessive?
Alleles can be either dominant or recessive. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell, and can represent alternative forms of a gene.
Mendels law of segregation states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene and that?
Mendel's law of segregation states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene and that organism donate copies to offspring in predictable ratios.
Why all somatic cells undergo mitosis and some cells in the gonads undergo meiosis?
this is because there all the same type of cell and so somatic diseases are passed on by not mutating the gene and if a somatic diseseases can mutate to become zombies
How many gene is present in one chromosomes?
A given gene is present on exactly two chromosomes in a somatic cell.
What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?
1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"
What type of gene does gene therapy try to replace in a sick person?
somatic gene
