Question

How many types of gametes can be produced by a diploid organism that is heterozygous for 3 loci?

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 16
• D. 32

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8

Types of gametes = $2^n$ where n is the number of heterozygous loci. Thus, gametes produced by a diploid organism with three heterozygous loci could be $2^3$= 8.
