An allele is one form of a gene. Alleles separate into separate sex cells during meiosis.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex
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!!
trait
depends on the trait.some traits are ineffectual through the male sex cell such as the trait for baldness.
No
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.
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.
