Let's consider meiosis in mosquitoes, which have three pairs of homologous chromosomes (n = 3, 2n = 6). At the conclusion of meiotic cell division, a mosquito can produce how many different gametes with unique sets of chromosomes (excluding crossing over)?

8

Explanation:

Excluding crossing over, a diploid individual can produce 2^n different gametes, where n is the number of chromosomes in an haploid cell of the species.

In this case, mosquitoes have an haploid number of n=3, so they can produce 2^3= 8 unique gametes.  

For instance, given the homologous chromosomes 1A-1a, 2B-2b and 3C-3c (2n=6), the possible gametes are:

the correct answer, according to e2020, is the second choice there is an occluded front in region a and a cold front in region b.

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
