A

`{:(4,"types",:,2,"types"):}`

B

`{:(2,"types",:,2,"types"):}`

C

`{:(4,"types",:,4,"types"):}`

D

`{:(4,"types",:,"one","types"):}`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of gametes produced by both female and male Drosophila given their genotypes and the information about crossing over. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Genotypes**: - Female Drosophila: `(AB)/(ab)` - Male Drosophila: `(AB)/(ab)` 2. **Crossing Over in Drosophila**: - In Drosophila, crossing over occurs in females but not in males. This means that the female can produce recombinant gametes, while the male will only produce parental gametes. 3. **Determine Gametes from Female**: - The female has the genotype `(AB)/(ab)`. - The possible gametes produced by the female due to crossing over can be: - Parental gametes: `AB` and `ab` - Recombinant gametes due to crossing over: `Ab` and `aB` - Therefore, the female can produce a total of **4 types of gametes**: `AB`, `ab`, `Ab`, and `aB`. 4. **Determine Gametes from Male**: - The male has the genotype `(AB)/(ab)`. - Since crossing over does not occur in males, the male can only produce the parental gametes: - `AB` and `ab` - Therefore, the male can produce a total of **2 types of gametes**: `AB` and `ab`. 5. **Final Answer**: - The number of gametes produced by the female Drosophila is **4**. - The number of gametes produced by the male Drosophila is **2**. ### Summary: - Female Drosophila produces **4 types of gametes**. - Male Drosophila produces **2 types of gametes**. ---
