Considering independent segregation of all factors, how many types of gametes does a VvXXWwYyzz individual produce? What is the formula to determinate such number?
The mentioned individual will produce eight different types of gametes (attention, gametes and not zygotes). To determine the number of different gametes produced by a given multiple genotype the number of heterezygous pairs is counted (in the mentioned case, three) and the result is placed as an exponent of two (in the example, 23 = 8).
