Hemizygous refers to a genetic condition where an individual has only one allele for a particular gene instead of the usual two. This often occurs in males for genes located on the X chromosome, as they have one X and one Y chromosome. Therefore, while diploid organisms typically have two alleles for each trait, hemizygous individuals possess only one functional allele for certain genes.
You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.
Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as alleles. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can determine a specific trait in an individual. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
An organism that has two different alleles for a single trait is called heterozygous. This means that the organism inherited different versions of the gene responsible for that trait from each parent.
You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.
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.
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.

Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.

alleles
An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.
An individual can have a maximum of two alleles for one trait, as they inherit one allele from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) for a specific trait.
The term for a genetic condition where both alleles for a particular trait are different from each other is called heterozygous.
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
Different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles. Alleles can result in different observable traits depending on their specific sequence and how they interact with each other.
