Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is a possible haploid (gamete) genotype?
A
Blue eyes
B
Aa
C
A
D
Brown eyes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An individual with the genotype Aa can make two types of gametes: A and a. Since this is a random process, the individual will, on average, make equal numbers of each gamete. (Frequency of 1/2 for each gamete). A second individual with genotype Aa can make two types of gametes: A and a.

Detailed explanation-2: -The haploid genotype (haplotype) is a genotype that considers the singular chromosomes rather than the pairs of chromosomes. It can be all the chromosomes from one of the parents or a minor part of a chromosome, for example a sequence of 9000 base pairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The types of gametes produced by each individual depends on its genotype. So, a YY genotype can only produce gametes with Y alleles. An individual with a Yy genotype produces half Y gametes and half y gametes. A yy genotype produces only y gametes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer So, it results in the production of 22= 4 types of gametes. These types of genotypes that are ABC, ABc, AbC, and Abc will be found in the gametes. Thus the number of gametes produced by the plant having the genotype AABbCc is four.
