Detailed explanation-1: -The simple answer to this question is yes. When chromosome pairs randomly align along the metaphase plate during meiosis I, each member of the chromosome pair contains one allele for every gene. Each gamete will receive one copy of each chromosome and one allele for every gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work. The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent. Alleles interact with each other in different ways. These are called inheritance patterns.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your genome is inherited from your parents, half from your mother and half from your father. The gametes are formed during a process called meiosis. Like your genome, each gamete is unique, which explains why siblings from the same parents do not look the same.
