Question : A diploid organism is heterozygous for 4 loci, how many types of gametes can be produced ?

Answer»

Solution :The FORMULA `2^n` is APPLIED here
where n = NUMBER of loci
=The ORGANISM is heterozygous for 4 loci, n = 4.
So, `2^n = 2^4 = 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 = 16`
=The organism will produce 16 types of gametes.
