Question

A gamete normally contains:
  1. All alleles of a gene
  2. Many alleles of a gene
  3. One allele of a gene
  4. Two alleles of a gene

A
One allele of a gene
B
Many alleles of a gene
C
Two alleles of a gene
D
All alleles of a gene
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A gamete is produced by the meiosis in cell division. When gametes are produced, the alleles of the gene separate and enter into different sex cells. In other words, one form is packaged in one sex cell and the other form is packaged in another.
Thus, option C is correct.
