copies of the same chromosome Explanation - An organism inherits two copies of each chromosome, one each from the male and female parents. The two forms of a gene controlling a character (two versions of a trait) are present at the same location on the two copies of one of the chromosomes. At the time of gamete formation, when a chromosome pair segregate and move to different gametes, two forms of a gene also segregate, each gamete receiving one copy of a chromosome along with one form of a gene. When these gametes from two parents fuse, the two copies of the same chromosome along with the two forms of a gene are also brought together in the organism of the next generation.
