In mammals (humans, for example), each unfertilized egg cell only contains half of the genetic code, or chromosomes, necessary to create offspring. Same goes for each sperm cell.
With the exception of cloning, it is not possible to have any less than exactly half of your genes come from each parent. That being said, some genetic traits are dominant while others are recessive, so you may *resemble* one parent more than the other.

Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called?
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki
What are the exceptions to the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance?
chloroplast have genes but only get them from one parent
How many parents are required for asexual reproduction?
During asexual reproduction there is only need for one participant. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproducing in which offspring are created simply from one organism and they inherit genes of the singular parent only.
Is it possible to have some genetic traits as your grandparents?
No, but many aunts and uncles have the same parents as your mother or father. They may share genes with your grandparents and you would also have genes from your grandparents.
What genes don't occur in pairs?
well all genes comes in pair one is dominant and other is recessive but gametes do not come in pair as only one can come from the parent.

Could you inherit a gene and not know it?
yes You only inherit genes when your a baby. from your dad and your mom. so i don't believe you would know it because you were just a sperm & an ovum starting to make you. so you can only inherit genes from your parents when you weren't born yet. :P
How many participants does asexual reproduction?
During asexual reproduction there is only need for one participant. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproducing in which offspring are created simply from one organism and they inherit genes of the singular parent only.

HOW MANY PARTICIPANT DOES ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION REQUIRE?

Can you inherit genes from your dad's brother or sister?
I think that that can only happen with your aunt if shes also your mother.
Does a gamete only receive one allele or another from a pair?
A gamete receives one of two genes from one parent and one of two genes from the other parent.
If a lion injures itself will its cub inherit the injury?
sometimes , only if the injury is from the inside body it will inherit it if its another thing like "broken paws" it won't inherit it
Why do humans only inherit mitochondrial genes only from their mother.?
Because all our mitochondria are descended from those in our mother's egg cells.
Can b blood and ab blood have a o blood child?
No - this is not possible. The child must inherit one allele from each parent. This means that if one parent is AB, they must donate either an A or a B to the child. This means that the only possible blood types are A, B and AB (depending on whether the other parent is BO or BB). If the parent with B blood type is homozygous, BB, then the child can only be B or AB.
What is genotypephenotype?
Genotype is the genes you have inherited for a certain condition (say you have two recessive genes for cystic fibrosis) and phenotype is the result of genotype and environmental factors added together (you will develop cystic fibrosis). ---- Penotype is the actual genes that you inherit from your parents. Phenotype is the genes that are actually expressed in your body. For instance, you may inherit genes for both red hair and blond hair from your parents, but you will only have one hair color. Both redhead and blond genes are part of your genotype, but only the genes for the hair color you actually have are part of your phenotype.
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for that trait is called what?
recessive traits
