They don't. Each parent should only have two.. One from each of their parents.

What are pure alleles?
Alleles come in pairs. Organisms inherit one allele from each parent organism with sexual reproduction. If the alleles are the same, they could be said to be pure alleles. The science term is monozygous.
How many alleles for a trait are passed down from each parent?
There are three common Blood type alleles: A, B, and O. We all have two alleles, one inherited from each parent. The possible combinations of the three alleles are: OO; AO; BO; AB; AA; BB.
How many alleles does each person have for an autosomal gene?
Two, one from each parent.
Why do you have to pull two alleles (two straws) from the bag to represent one fish?
For most organism's any trait is usually determined by two alleles/"genetic codes" for that trait (one from each parent). For example, your eye or hair color results from a combination of your mother and father's genes (one allele from each for hair/eye color). So, a specific trait for a fish follows the same process by which two alleles (one from each parent) are needed to represent the fish.
Organisms inherit genes in pairs from each what?
Parent. Organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent.
Why does each parent organism in the f1 generation have four alleles listed in figure 6.17?
Each parent has two genes with two alleles so there are four alleles.

Mendel's law of segregation states that an organism inherits two alleles for any given trait one from each parent?
one factor
What percent of each alleles does each parent contribute to their offspring?
50% from each parent: one allele in each gene, each parent, for a total of two.
What is genetic relationship between generations?
Each new generation inherits alleles from the previous generation.
What are genetics material for a trait from each parent called?
alleles
How many alleles does each person have for an autosomal gene?
Two, one from each parent.
How many alleles does parent pass to an offspring for each trait?
5
What does the offspring of a sexually reproducing organism receives?
One half of each parent's chromosomes, and genetic variation, as opposed to those that reproduce asexually - the cells just split, so each generation afterward is genetically identical to the parent.
