Organisms inherit their alleles from their parents. In sexual reproduction, the alleles are usually inherited from two parents. In asexual reproduction, the alleles are inherited from a single cell and are genetically identical to the parent.

How are traits controlled by two alleles multiple alleles and multiple genes similar and different?

Each have a different genetic code that gives instruction to the brain and other cell bodies.


What alleles do the f1 offspring have and why?

The alleles of the f1 offspring will depend on the alleles of the parents. In theory all of the alleles in the parental genotypes could be present in the f1 generation.To work out which combinations of alleles will be present in the f1 generation/the proportion with one allele etc. you would need to draw some kind of cross.AA x AaA AA AA AAa aA aASo the f1 offspring have both the A and a alleles, because the two alleles from each parent are separated into the gametesAA gives two gametes both with 'A' alleleAa gives on gamete with 'A' and one with 'a'

A trait has 2 alleles represented by p and q. If p 0.35 what is q?

In a trait with two alleles represented by p and q, the sum of the frequencies of the alleles must equal 1. Therefore, if p = 0.35, you can find q by subtracting p from 1. This gives q = 1 - 0.35, which means q = 0.65.

Why can multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes a for a trait?

It can provide different looks because each allele gives a different look
