Each time a gamete is formed, one allele from each gene (i.e. either A or a) is included.

This means for an individual with AaBbCc, there are 8 different gametes:

What gametes can be formed by an individual with the genotype Aa?

An individual with the genotype Aa can produce two types of gametes: one carrying the A allele and one carrying the a allele. This individual will produce equal numbers of gametes with the A allele and gametes with the a allele due to Mendel's law of segregation.


A scientist is preparing a punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype of GGKk. What possible gametes can the plant produce?

The plant with genotype GGKk can produce two types of gametes: GK and Gk. This is because each parent contributes one allele per gene to the offspring, resulting in a total of four possible gametes when considering two different genes.


What genotype is not true-breeding?

A heterozygous genotype (e.g. Aa) is not true-breeding because it carries two different alleles for a trait and can produce offspring with different genotypes when crossed. True-breeding genotypes are homozygous for a particular trait (e.g. AA or aa) and will consistently produce offspring with the same genotype when crossed.


Can an organism with a Gg genotype produce gametes with either the dominant or recessive allele in equal amounts?

Yes. Remember that a heterozygote can produce two types of gametes. In this case, the unknown would produce gametes with the dominant allele A or the recessive allele a. The homozygous recessive would still only produce one kind gamete, with the recessive a allele. Therefore, we expect to see only two genotypes in the F1, Aa and aa, in equal proportions.


Who is the real father of a baby with genotype GGBB Pete's gametes are GB and Jack's gametes are all GB?

In this case neither Pete nor Jack can be the father. A baby inherits one allele from each of its parents. This means that it will receive one G or g and one B or b from each parent. If Pete only has gb gametes - (meaning his genotype is ggbb) - then it is not possible for him to give a B to the baby. The same goes for Jack, whose gametes are Gb (meaning his genotype is GGbb). Neither of these men have a B - which means that they cannot be the father. The father would have to have BB or Bb for his child to have the genotype BB.

How many gametes can a GgTt pea plants produce?

A pea plant with the genotype GgTt can produce 4 types of gametes: GT, Gt, gT, and gt. This is based on the principle of independent assortment where different gene pairs segregate independently of each other during gamete formation.

True-breeding genotypes are homozygous for a particular trait (e.g. AA or aa) and will consistently produce offspring with the same genotype when crossed.


How many different type of gametes would an AabbDdEeGg individual produce?

4 The reason why the answer is 4 is because 2 of the pairs are heterozygous. When calculating possible gametes you take the number of heterozygous pairs and multiply them by each other (or raise 2 to the power equal to the number of heterozygous pairs you have). Therefore, since there are 2 heterozygous pairs in this genotype you multiply 2x2 (or 2^2).
