Answer 1

List the four possible allele combinations in the gametes of a plant with genotype.

Answer:

If you know the haploid number for an organism, you can calculate the number of possible combinations in the gametes. The possible combinations are equal to 2n, where n is the haploid number. For the organism in Figure 9-18, n = 2, so the number of chromosome combinations is 22, or 4.
