Question

The maximum number of genotypes of the pollens produced by a tall pea plant with round, yellow, seeds of the genotype TtRrYY, if the three loci are unlinked, would be (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 4 (D) 8

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Pollen grains are male gametes. The number of different gametes produced by a plant Tt Rr YY is 2n where n = number of heterozygous alleles. Thus, 22 =4.

Pollen grains are male gametes. The number of different gametes produced by a plant $TtR r YY$ is $2^{n}$ where $n =$ number of heterozygous alleles. Thus, $2^{2} = 4.$
