Heterozygous organisms are the organisms that have different alleles which paired with an allelic pair.
Explanation:
Locus is defined as a fixed point present in chrormosome consist of single or multiple genes. Hence on the basis of principles of Inheritance and Variation, a diploid organism will show four different characters four four loci.
The mathematical formula for types of gametes produced by organism is 2∧n
where n suggest the number of loci in heterozygous organism.
As given, n = 4
Therefore, types of gametes produced = 2∧4 = 16.
Hence, the number of gametes produced will be 16.
