Respuesta

The genotype for a simple trait has 2 alleles.

Explicación

## Step 1In genetics, an allele is a variant form of a gene. Each individual has two copies of each gene, one from each parent. These copies are known as alleles.## Step 2For a simple trait, which is determined by a single gene, an individual has two alleles, one from each parent.## Step 3These two alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous). The combination of these two alleles determines the individual's genotype for that trait.
