A diploid organism is heterozygous for 4 loci, how many types of gametes can be produced ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The formula `2^n` is applied here
where n = number of loci
= The organism is heterozygous for 4 loci, n = 4.
So, `2^n = 2^4 = 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 = 16`
= The organism will produce 16 types of gametes.
