Question

if each parent has two alleles for each gene, how many alleles will each gamete get from one parent? 2 4 1

Explanation:

Step1: Understand gamete formation

Gametes are formed through meiosis. During meiosis, the chromosome number (and thus the number of alleles for each gene) is halved.

Step2: Calculate number of alleles per gamete

If each parent has 2 alleles for each gene, then each gamete gets \( \frac{2}{2}=1 \) allele from one parent.
