The statement "Fertilization gives each new individual one allele for each trait" is True.

Explanation:

In sexual reproduction, fertilization involves the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg). Each gamete carries one allele for each trait, which are inherited from the parent organisms. When fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote receives one allele from the mother and one allele from the father for each trait, thus forming a complete set of alleles. This genetic combination is crucial for the diversity of traits in the offspring. Therefore, the assertion that each individual receives one allele for each trait during fertilization aligns with the principles of Mendelian genetics.
