The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the gametes produced by the genotype TtRr, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the types of gametes produced by TtRr The genotype TtRr consists of two gene pairs: - Tt (where T is dominant and t is recessive) - Rr (where R is dominant and r is recessive) According to the principle of independent assortment, the alleles of different genes segregate independently during gamete formation. ### Step 2: List the possible combinations of alleles From Tt, we can have: - T (dominant) - t (recessive) From Rr, we can have: - R (dominant) - r (recessive) Now, we can combine these alleles to form gametes: 1. TR (T from Tt and R from Rr) 2. Tr (T from Tt and r from Rr) 3. tR (t from Tt and R from Rr) 4. tr (t from Tt and r from Rr) Thus, the four types of gametes produced are: - TR - Tr - tR - tr ### Step 3: Analyze the options A. **4 types of gametes will be formed.** - This statement is **correct** as we have identified 4 distinct gametes. B. **The percentage of each gamete is 25.** - This statement is also **correct**. Since there are 4 gametes, each type will have a probability of 1/4 or 25%. C. **Each gamete is diploid.** - This statement is **incorrect**. Gametes are haploid, meaning they contain only one set of chromosomes (one allele for each gene). D. **Out of 4 gametes, 2 gametes have all dominant genes.** - This statement is **incorrect**. The gametes TR and tR have one dominant allele each, but Tr and tr do not have all dominant genes. Only one gamete (TR) has both dominant alleles. ### Conclusion The correct options are A and B.
