An individual heterozygous for each of five genes (AaBbCcDdEe) is crossed with another individual who has the same genotype. a. How many different gametes can each of these parents produce

32 different gametes can be produced

Explanation:

The possibilities of formation of the number of different gametes in a population are determined by the number of heterozygous alleles for a given gene in the organism.

The formula to calculate the number of gametes is- 2ⁿ where n represents the number of heterozygous alleles

In the given question, the five genes of the organism are considered which form five type of heterozygous allele like A, a, B,b and so on. Therefore five types of heterozygous alleles is possible.

So using the formula we have 2⁵= 32 gametes.

Thus, 32 gametes is correct.
