Question

A man with genotype EEFfGgHH can produce a (P) number of genetically different sperms and a woman with genotype LLMmNnOo can produce (Q) number of genetically different eggs. Determine the values of (P) and (Q)., P - 4 , Q - 4, P - 4 , Q - 8, P - 8 , Q - 4, P - 8 , Q - 8

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

A man with genotype EEFfGgHH can produce 4 number of genetically different sperms as the individual is heterozygous for two gene locus. Woman with genotype LLMmNnOo can produce 8 number of genetically different eggs as she is heterozygous for three gene locus. The number of gametes formed can be calculated by the formula (2) n , where n = no. of heterozygous genes.
