The law of independent assortment allows for genetic recombination. The following equation can be used to determine the total number of possible genotype combinations for any particular number of genes: 2g = Number of possible genotype combinations (where g is the number of genes)1 gene: 21 = 2 genotypes2 genes: 22 = 4 genotypes3 genes: 23 = 8 genotypesa) Consider the following genotype: YySsTt. How many different gamete combinations can be produced?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Gametes that will be produced are:

YST, YSt, YsT, Yst, yST, ySt, ysT, yst

Explanation:

From YySsTt, it is obvious that as there 3 type of genes.

The number of gametes = [tex]2^{3}[/tex] = 8

5 genes = [tex]2^{5}[/tex] = 32 genotypes

10 genes = [tex]2^{10}[/tex] = 1024 genotypes

20 genes = [tex]2^{20}[/tex] = 1048576 genotypes
