Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Gametes are the reproductive cells produced by meiosis. These cells participate in the fertilization process to form the zygote. Gametes contain half the genetic content of the parent cell. Also, the genes/allele/loci segregate and recombine during the meiosis. Depending on the number of genes/allele combination different types of gamete can be produced and the number gamete type generally follow the pattern of 2n where n is the number of genes/loci/alleles.

For genotype AABbCcdd, the individual will produce 4 gametes having genotype -
