Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
For a genotype withheterozygous loci (Aa Bb Cc ... each independently assorting), the number of genetically distinct gamete types =. Genotype AaBbCcDdEeFfGg has 7 heterozygous loci:possible gamete combinations. Each locus contributes two allele options (e.g. Aa contributes A or a gametes). This is a direct application of the fundamental counting principle for independent events in Mendelian genetics.
