The gamete that contains genes contributed only by the mother is?
egg
Two parents pass on their genes to offspring in?
Through sexual reproduction -- a gamete from the female meets with a gamete from the male
What pattern of inheritance would lead a geneticist to suspect that an inherited disorder of cell metabolism is due to a defective mitochondrial gene?
The disorder would always be inherited from the mother because the mother's mitochondrial gene is the only one that survives when the zygote is formed. The gamete from the mother contains all the information. The head of the father's sperm is the only part that survives during fertilization. The tail of the sperm containing the male's mitochondria (an their genes) is lost when the zygote begins development. Thus it is only from the mother that the disorder can be inherited.
Compare any differences in the appearance of genes on chromosomes in gamete cells when crossing over occurs and when it does not occur?
The genes are different because crossing over causes some of the genes on the homologous pair to shuffle, creating variation.
Which chromosomes carries the fewest numbers of genes?
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
The gamete that contains genes contributed only by the mother is?
egg
What is the gamete that contains genes contributed only by the father?
the sperm cell
True or false a gamete must contain one complete set of genes?
A gamete contains half the number of genes that the other body cells do.
What part of the plant contains the genes from the mother?
It is the pistil
When an organism produces its own gametes those two sets of genes must be separated from each other so that each gamete contains just one set of genes?
This is called segregation .
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.
What is Hypothesis that a gamete receives only one member of a pair of genes?

What is a cell containing a single set of chromosomes and therefore only single set of genes is?
What contains only a single set of chomosomes?
Two genes are almost always found in the same gamete?
Two genes that are almost always found in the same gamete are probably located near each other on the same chromosome. Crossing over is more likely to occur with genes that are farther apart on the same chromosome.
How much of your DNA contains genes?
20.3% of your DNA contains genes

Through sexual reproduction -- a gamete from the female meets with a gamete from the male
How does a baby get her genes?
A child starts out as a one-celled organism called a zygote, which is formed when the father's sperm, containing half the father's genes, fertilizes the mother's egg, which contains half the mother's genes. So the process of fertilization, which occurs in the mother's fallopian tube, combines half of the father's genes and half of the mother's genes. After fertilization, the zygote divides into an embryo and makes its way to the mother's uterus (womb) where it is implanted and continues to grow and develop.
