If an individual is homozygous for a trait, what percentage of his/her gametes will carry that allele?

Biology
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago

100% will have that allele. Homozygous means the alleles are the same for every gamete, for example looking at Mendel's pea plants, if the allele for the trait of growing tall is T and the allele for growing short is t, a homozygous tall pea plant would have the genotype TT, meaning all of its alleles are tall

Why does each parent contribute only one allele to the offspring?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Because the gametes implemented in fertilisation are haploid in nature, in the case of humans, mature gametes contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46 which will then combine with another parents' 23 chromosomes during fertilisation, i.e: 23 (dad) + 23 (mom) = 46 (zygote)

Explanation:

A regular somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, 2n, 2 alleles but the gametes have 23 chromomes, n, 1 allele. The usual significance of this is so that there is diversity in the offspring and the offspring can gain characteristics (bad or good) from both parents.
