Answer 2

2 one from the mother and one from the father assuming that it is of a diploid organism also if there is no genetic disease such as downs syndrome that could cause multiple copies of genes

Answer 3

Answer 4

Each somatic cell typically has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. This is known as diploid.
