Genotypes consist of two alleles for every trait. You inherit one allele from one parent, and another from the other parent.

2 alleles per trait

Normally two for qualitative trait and many for quantitative trait in a 2n individual.

How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?

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.


When a trait has more then two alleles and how is that trait inherited?

Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.


A single individual carries how many alleles for a trait?

It depends on the trait. Some traits are controlled by several alleles. Some traits are simply one of many controlled by a single allele. It also depends and how you correlate the trait with the allele. Sometimes a completely unrelated allele can "turn on" or "turn off" other sets of alleles. This means that the number of alleles associated with a particular trait can ultimately be indeterminable by our current observational methods.


What are non-mendelian trait?

Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes


For each trait there are allele possibilities?

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 allelesβ€”one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.


What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?

The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.


Is heterozygous individual?

Hi I'm 12 .A heterozygous organism is one with 2 different alleles for one trait


What is individual heterozygous?

Hi I'm 12 .A heterozygous organism is one with 2 different alleles for one trait


More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?

It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)


In humans a trait can be determined by one pair of many pairs of?

alleles.


If two alleles have incomplete dominance what will the resulting phenotype be for an individual who carries one copy of each allele?

the individual will show a mixture of these two trait.


What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?

Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
