Solution

The correct option is D 8
The total number of gametes produced by a genotype can be calculated using the formula 2 $^{n}$ , where "n" is the total number of heterozygous genes present in the genotype. Since, the F $_{1}$ hybrids are heterozygous for three genes, the types of gametes produced in both male and female will be 2 $^{3}$ = 8. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
