Question

which statement below correctly describes a component of sexual reproduction? (1 point) one parent passes down the majority of genes an offspring will receive. only dominant alleles are passed to offspring. each parent has two alleles and they pass both down to their offspring. each parent has two alleles per trait and passes one allele to their offspring.

Explanation:

In sexual reproduction, for each trait, parents are diploid and have two alleles per trait. During gamete - formation (meiosis), they pass one allele for each trait to their offspring through their gametes. Offspring receive alleles from both parents, not just one parent passing down the majority of genes. Also, both dominant and recessive alleles can be passed on, and parents do not pass both alleles of a trait to an offspring for each trait.

Answer:

Each parent has two alleles per trait and passes one allele to their offspring.
