Question

A mother has one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples. How many

of her gametes will carry the allele for dimples?

A. 0%
B. 25%
C. 100%
D. 50%

Answer 1

50%, i believe

Step-by-step explanation:

So the mother in the problem must have gotten her alleles from her mother and father. Who donated what we are not sure. All we know is that she got one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples. These are part of the mother's somatic cell DNA. This DNA is duplicated during interphase, right before meiosis occurs as the mother begins to form her gametes, however.

Answer 2

I am pretty sure that the answer is D.) 50%
