Genes always appear in pairs. Your parents donate ________ allele for every trait.

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 23
  4. 46

hintHint:

1 allele from a parent is inherited

The correct answer is: 1


    • Genes always appear in pairs.
    • These are known as alleles. Each allele (one from mother and one from father) is inherited.
    • Your parents donate 1 allele for every trait.
    • So, the correct option is a.
