Question

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

Answer 1

Hence, a diploid organism, which is heterozygous at four loci, will have four different contrasting characters at four different loci. For example, if an organism is heterozygous at four loci with four characters, say Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, then during meiosis, it will segregate to form 8 separate gametes.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

No of gametes produced by given organism = 16

● Explaination -

No of gametes formed by heterozygous organism is calculated by -

No of gametes = 2^4

No of gametes = 16

Therefore, no of gametes produced by diploid organism heterozygous for four loci is 16.

Thanks dear for asking. Hope this is helpful to you..
