Question

How many different combinations of alleles are possible among the gametes produced by an individual that is heterozygous for 5 separate (unlinked) genes? five ten sixteen thirty- two Consider a pea plant heterozygous for two dichotomous traits. flower color: PP and P_p = purple flowers; pp = white flowers. seed shape: RR and Rr = round seeds; rr = wrinkled seeds. A self-hybridizing dihybrid plant (PpRr x PpRr) generates F2 seeds that can be planted to grow into plants (di-hybrid cross). One type of seed that results from this di-hybrid cross is round and gives*rise to plants with white flowers (i.e. this progeny has white flowers and round seeds). The genotype of this plant MUST BE: ppRr PPR_ P_R_ P_rr F2 plants with this phenotype (white flowers and round seeds) will be found progeny of this di-hybrid cross (PpRr x PpRr) at a frequency of 1/2 3/4 1/4 3/16

Explanation / Answer

ans 1 d thirty two

the formula for number of gametes is 2n

where n is number of unlinked gene pairs

here n is 5

so 25 =32
