Question 3. A diploid organism is heterozygous for 4 loci, how many types of gametes can be formed?
Answer. Heterozygous for one locus, it produces two types of gametes . It can be calculated by using the formula 2 n
Here n denotes number of loci or number of contrasting characters. Since it is 4 loci, it is 24 = 2x2x2x2 = 16 types of gametes
