Solution:

Gene locus is a fixed position of a gene on a chromosome. Heterozygotes contain contrasting alleles for an allelic pair. Therefore, if a diploid organism is heterozygous at four loci, it will have four different contrasting characters present at four different loci.
Hence, the types of gametes produced will be where is number of heterozygous loci. Thus, gametes produced by a diploid organism could be .
