10. Possible combination of gametes which can be formed by genotype AaBbCcDdEeFfGg are?
(1) 16 (2) 32
(3) 64 (4) 128
Step-by-step reasoning
Genotype: AaBbCcDdEeFfGg
Each gene is heterozygous (A/a, B/b, C/c, D/d, E/e, F/f, G/g).
For each heterozygous pair, meiosis can place either allele in a gamete.
Thus each pair contributes 2 possibilities.
Number of heterozygous pairs n = 7.
Use the standard formula for possible gametes:
Number of gametes = 2n = 27 = 128
So this individual can form 128 different gamete types.
Checking options
- 16 → 24, would correspond to 4 heterozygous pairs (not 7).
- 32 → 25, for 5 heterozygous pairs.
- 64 → 26, for 6 heterozygous pairs.
- 128 → 27, matches 7 heterozygous pairs in AaBbCcDdEeFfGg.
Therefore, the correct choice is option (4) 128.
