Question

Which of the following individuals will produce 16 types of gametes?

• A. AaBbccDdeeFF
• B. AaBbccDDEeFf
• C. AaBbCcddEEFF
• D. AaBbCcDDEeFf

Answer 1

The correct option is B AaBbccDDEeFf

The formula to calculate the types of gametes produced by an organism is
2${}^n$, where n is number of heterozygous gene loci.

To produce 16 types of gametes, organism should have 4 heterozygous gene loci and in the given options,
Aa Bb cc DD Ee Ff will produce 16 different types of gametes.
$AaBbccDDEeFf=(2{)}^4=16$

AaBbccDdeeFF and AaBbCcddEEFF will produce 8 different types of gametes.

AaBbCcDDEeFf will produce 32 different types of gametes.
