Question

question 1 of 10
how are traits and alleles related?
a. traits are the codes of alleles that are passed down from parents.
b. alleles and traits are both coded for by specific genes.
c. each allele codes for a specific trait in an organism.
d. each trait codes for a specific allele in an organism.

Explanation:

Genes carry the information for traits. Alleles are different forms of a gene. So, alleles (gene variants) and traits (characteristics) are both related to genes. Traits are not codes of alleles (A wrong). Each allele doesn't code for a specific trait (C wrong as traits can be influenced by multiple alleles and environment). Traits don't code for alleles (D wrong, alleles are gene variants).

Answer:

B. Alleles and traits are both coded for by specific genes.
