Example 1: There are 5 gene pairs, how many gametes can be formed if only 3 of them are heterozygous?
There are two ways you can work out this problem, it depends on the genotype and phenotype. As you calculate the genotype you take 2 and raise it to the number of heterozygous gene pairs, which in our case is 3; so it would read, 2^3=8 different gametes. If we took the phenotype you would take the inverse of 2 and raise it to the number of heterozygous gene pairs which is 3; so it would read 1/2^3 which equals 1/8=0.125 different gametes

Number all probable gametes = 2n x m
where
n = number of heterozygous allele pairs
m = number of homozygous allele pairs
for your question
n = 3
m = 2
Number all probable gametes = 23 x 2 = 16
unisex gametes
They are the sex cells. They are haploid cells.
Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs
The human gametes are Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs. And the gametes chromosome numbers are 42.
Yes, It is. The pollen is the male gametes of a plant a the ovules is the female gametes of a plant.
meiosis is the process by which gametes are formed
Approximately 2,468,754.156247892 gametes
the scrotum contains the testes, which produce gametes
When they are fertilized. Gametes are the eggs or sperm
The gametes are produced in meiosis.
Gametes are by definition haploid
Ovaries release female gametes
