In a diploid cell with the genotype RrYyPp , how many different haploid cell genotypes could be created if all three genes show independent assortment

Respuesta :

Oseni

A total of 8 different haploid cell genotypes will be formed if all the three genes show independent assortment.

Independent assortment

The genes of RrYyPp assorting independently means they are not linked in any way.

During meiosis, the genes separate to produce haploid gametes as follows:

RYP

RYp

RyP

Ryp

rYP

rYp

ryP
