How many alleles does a body cell have for each trait?

Every sex cell has one allele for each trait. after meiosis, pairs of chromosomes separate and alleles for each trait also separate into different sex cells.


Are the alleles for a trait from both parents found in one sex cell?

A sex cell is, by definition, a male sex cell or a female sex cell. Both are 1N and each contains half the genetic material of the parent that produced the cell. Parental traits are not combined until fertilization has occurred.


Each sex cell now contains blank allele for each trait?

Each sex cell now contains one allele for each trait. This is because sex cells are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes with one allele for each gene. During fertilization, two sex cells will combine to form a diploid zygote with two alleles for each trait.


An organism that has two diffrent alleles for a trait?

Is called a heterozygote (hetero- meaning different, and zygote being the sex cell). Heterozygotes have two different alleles of a particular gene, one in each of their sets of chromosomes. As apposed to homozygotes which have two of the same alleles of a gene.


Do most cells in your body have alleles for every trait?

Yes, most cells in the human body have two alleles for every gene that determine traits. These alleles come from each parent and are responsible for the variation in physical traits among individuals.


What best describes the law of independence?

When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex


What is sickle cell Trait The condition is Autosomal and there is Codominance between alleles what does this mean?

sickle cell trait is inherited from one set of gene alleles from both parents. if you get two traits together it will cause sickle cell anemia which is a disease, sickle cell trait is not a disease. i dont know what autosomal means!! i dont know what codominance means!!


Every sex cell has one allele for each what?

Is a male sex cell domiant or ressive?

depends on the trait.some traits are ineffectual through the male sex cell such as the trait for baldness.


Do chromosome pair separate into different sex cell the alleles of genes stay together?

No


A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?

Color blindness is an example of a trait that is inherited on sex chromosomes. It is passed down on the X chromosome, and males are more likely to be colorblind because they have only one X chromosome.


Is a Simmental cow horn or poled or both?

Any Simmental animal, regardless of sex, can be horned or polled. The polled trait is dominant and the horned trait is determined by a pair of recessive alleles.
