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.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to have some genetic traits as your grandparents?
Yes, it is possible to inherit genetic traits from your grandparents through your parents. This is because you receive half of your genetic material from each parent, who in turn received genetic material from their parents (your grandparents). Thus, traits can be passed down through multiple generations.
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
If a mans father has a BBkk genotype for two particular genes and his mother has the BBkk genotype what will the mans genotype be?
BBkk as there is no other alleles present for the man to inherit. the father can only pass on a B allele and a k allele and the mother can also only pass on a B allele and a k allele.
Are freckles dominant recessive or dominant dominant?
Freckles are considered a dominant trait, as they are caused by a dominant allele. This means that individuals only need to inherit one copy of the allele from either parent in order to have freckles.
What is the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in regard to passing on DNA to their offspring?
In sexual reproduction an entirely new individual is produced. The genes are not exactly the same as either parent. In asexual reproduction the new individual is exactly the same as the parent. It is a cone of 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
Y linked genes are passed only from who?
Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.
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 asexual reproduction require?
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?
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.
Does your inherit characteristics from your mother only?
No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.
Is it possible to have some genetic traits as your grandparents?
Yes, it is possible to inherit genetic traits from your grandparents through your parents. This is because you receive half of your genetic material from each parent, who in turn received genetic material from their parents (your grandparents). Thus, traits can be passed down through multiple generations.
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
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.
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. This means that the trait is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele for that trait, one from each parent.
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.
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.
