An individual of genotype aaBbCcDDEeGg is making gametes. Assuming that all the genes assort independently, how many different types of gametes are possible?
10 |
4 |
2 |
64 |
16 |
9 |
Answer: 16
Explanation: Formula to find total number of different type of gametes=
- The genotype given in here is aaBbCcDDEeGg
- So there are four heterozygous genes: Bb, Cc, Ee and Gg.
- According to the formula,
- You can also place it like this
aa Bb Cc DD Ee Gg |
1 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 2 x 2 = 16 |
- In here, homozygous will produce only one type.
