Question:
A diploid organism is heterozygous for 4 loci, how many types of gametes can be produced?
Answer:
A diploid organism that is heterozygous for 4 loci can produce (2^4) or 16 different types of gametes. This is because each locus has two possible alleles, and the number of possible gametes is the product of the number of alleles at each locus.
