Yes, all of an amoeba's genes come from one parent because amoebas reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. In this process, the single organism duplicates its genetic material and divides into two identical daughter cells, each containing the same set of genes. As a result, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

When amoeba reproduce they replicate their DNA and then divide in half.?

all of the offspring's genes come from one parent.


All copies of the single parent's genes are passed to the offspring?

In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genetic material to the offspring. This results in a unique combination of genes in the offspring rather than an exact copy of either parent's genes.


What proof do you have that all your genes did not come from only on parent?

The presence of two different sets of sex chromosomes (XX or XY) in most individuals is one clear proof that genes come from two parents. Additionally, genetic diversity resulting from the combination of different genes inherited from both parents further supports the theory that genes do not come solely from one parent.


What do all animals pass on to their offspring in reproduction?

genes 23 from each parent


In sexual reproduction what fraction of the offspring's genes is contributed by each parent?

In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genes to the offspring. This results in the offspring inheriting equal amounts of genetic information from both the mother and the father.

What genes don't occur in pairs?

Genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine sex in humans, do not occur in pairs. These are called sex-linked genes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome and females having two X chromosomes. This results in differences in gene dosage between males and females for genes on the sex chromosomes.


How many of the offspring are homozygous?

When you say homozygous, you're talking about genes. It's almost impossible, or not known, if a human has had genes of all homozygousity.


Can parents with brown eyes all four grandparents with brown eyes produce a child with blue eyes?

Sure. All it takes is for a recessive blue-eye gene to be carried by each parent. Recessive genes can hang around through many generations and never come out until they meet another one from the other parent. When there's one of each, the brown-eye genes will always win, so after a while you don't know if the blue-eye genes are there or not until they show up. But somewhere back in the line there would have to be one blue-eyed parent on each side for this to happen.


Is an amoeba dividing in half a form of reproduction?

No, dividing in half is a form of asexual reproduction called binary fission, where an amoeba splits into two identical daughter cells. True reproduction involves the production of offspring, which in amoebas can also occur through sexual reproduction depending on the species.


How many red flowered offspring and how many white flowered offspring are produced when one parent has two genes for red flowers and one parent is hybrid?

All Red, no white.


How old are amoebas when they asexually reproduce?

Since all amoebas asexually reproduce, they are all the same age, and thus they are all as old as the first amoeba to ever exist on Earth.
