What determines a trait of an organism?(1 point) Responses the number of dominant alleles the number of dominant alleles its phenotype its phenotype the combination of its alleles the combination of its alleles the number of copies of the gene
The combination of its alleles is the main factor that determines a trait of an organism. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that occupy the same position on a chromosome and can code for different variations of a specific trait. The combination of alleles inherited from both parents determines the phenotype, or physical characteristics, of the organism. The number of copies of the gene and the number of dominant alleles may influence the trait, but ultimately it is the combination of alleles that determines the trait.
