When gametes are formed through a process called reproduction, where a male's gamete combines with a female gametes' cell and produces a zygote; the alleles for that are varied in different fertilized zygotes. For example a zygote could have two different alleles from the gene from the male and the female; G and g, thus it would be heterozygous. However at the same time another zygote could have the gene of GG which would be homozygous and pure green.

Mendel's Law of segregation as it applies to the distribution of alleles in Gametes?
states that the two alleles for a traite segregate (separte) when gametes are formed.
How many alleles do your gametes have?
Gametes should contain one allele for each gene locus. This means that gametes will have one allele for each of the genes on the chromosomes they are carrying. It is estimated that humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes - meaning each gamete would therefore have 20,000-30,000 alleles.
Do gametes have two alleles per trait and organisms have one?
Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes. They only have one allele for each gene because they are designed to combine with another cell in order to form an organism.
Which best describe the law of independent assortment?
Each pair of chromosomes separates on its own during meiosis.
Principle of independent assortment?
Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes during the production of gametes. This results in genetically unique gametes. The gametes are genetically different to the one another. This leads to genetic variation.
Mendel's Law of segregation as it applies to the distribution of alleles in Gametes?
states that the two alleles for a traite segregate (separte) when gametes are formed.
Principle of what states that alleles separate when gametes are formed?
Heredity
What is the separation of two alleles in a heterozygote when gametes are formed?
segregation
How traits are inherited through alleles?
By sexual reproduction the parental alleles through gametes are inherited in the subsequent generation
Is the process the segregates alleles into gametes for reproduction?
The process is called Meiosis.
What Is the process that segregates alleles into gametes for reproduction.?
The process is called Meiosis.
What is A cell produced by the union of gametes carrying identical alleles?
a zygote
How many alleles do your gametes have?
Gametes should contain one allele for each gene locus. This means that gametes will have one allele for each of the genes on the chromosomes they are carrying. It is estimated that humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes - meaning each gamete would therefore have 20,000-30,000 alleles.
What information does a Punnett square provide?
Possible alleles in the gametes of the parents
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation
Do gametes have two alleles per trait and organisms have one?
Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes. They only have one allele for each gene because they are designed to combine with another cell in order to form an organism.
Why do zygotes have different allele combinations from the gametes they result from?
When two gametes fuse to make a zygote, cross bridges form between the DNA from the two gametes. During cell division, the two gametes then separate, with some of the parts of gamete 1 being transferred to gamete 2 and vice versa. This recombination allows genetic diversity to occur. A gamete with ABCDE alleles will therefore "recombine" with a gamete with FGHIJ alleles to make, for example, ABHDJ cells. The new sequence will be replicated in subsequent cells.
