How many gamets can be produced by an organism having the genotype-AaBBCcdd?

A.
9
B.
16
Answer
C.
8
D.
4

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
16 gametes can be produced by an organism having the genotype-AaBBCcdd.
The total number of gametes produced by an organism = 2n.
Where n= number of genes for which the organism is heterozygous.
Here, in the given genotype-AaBBCcdd is heterozygous for 4 genes.
Therefore, no. of gametes = 2n = 24= 16.
