Which law states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene and donate one copy to each of their offspring?

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene, and during gamete formation, these copies separate so that each gamete receives only one copy of the gene. This ensures that offspring inherit one copy of each gene from each parent.


What conclusions make up Mendel's law of segregation?

Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each one of their parents. Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes.


What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?

1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"


What does the first law of heredity and the law of segregation state about genes?

The first law of heredity, also known as the law of segregation, states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent, and that these two copies segregate during gamete formation. This results in each gamete carrying only one copy of each gene.


Describe Mendel’s law of segregation and state how it connects to meiosis.?

 Mendels law of segregation states that an organism inherits two copies of each gene, one from each parent. An organism can donate only one copy pf each gene in their gametes. the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. The law connects to meiosis because homologous chromosomes seperate into different daughter cells and inherit only a chromosome from the parent cell, this connects to his law as an organism only inherits one trait from their parent.


How many chromosome has copies?

Organisms can have two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent. This is known as diploid. Other organisms, like plants, can have more than two copies of each chromosome (polyploidy). Having multiple copies of chromosomes can affect gene expression and traits in organisms.


Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?

Hemophilia is sex linked. Males inherit from their mother, daughters are carriers if the defective gene is inherited from one of either parent. A female must inherit two copies of the defective allele to have hemophilia .


How many copies of the sickle cell allele do people with cycle cell disease inherit?

To display symptoms it requires 2 copies. Someone with one copy would only be a carrier and not display any symptoms.


Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called?

Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki


What is a principle or law of heredity which states that for each trait there are two copies of the gene or genes that are responsible for the trait?

Mendel's Law Of Segregation


Kind of trait that seemed to vanish in the offspring produced in mendels first expiriment?

This was the recessive trait - because the plant had to have two copies for this trait to show, the one dominant copy masked the recessive copy.


How many copies of alleles do organisms carry?

It depends on the organism but humans have two alleles.
