How many different gametes would be made by each of the foll

How many different gametes would be made by each of the following individuals?

a) Ss

b) AaGg

c) BbCcDd

d) How many independently assorting genes would you be observing if there are 2⁵ gametes?

Solution

a). Gametes produced by Ss individual are, S and s.

b). Gametes produced by Aa Gg are, AG, Ag, aG and ag.

C). Gametes produced by BbCcDd are, BCD, BCd, BcD, Bcd, bCD bCd, bcD, bcd

d). Approximately 6 independent assorting genes would be there if there are 25 gametes. Because the possible number of gametes with six genes is, 2^6 = 32. Five genes can form 2^5 = 16 gametes.
