How many different kinds of gametes will be produced by a plant having the genotype AABbCC?
Correct answer: A. Two
- A. Two
- B. Three
- C. Four
- D. Nine
Explanation
A plant with the genotype AABbCC will produce two different kinds of gametes. This is because the A and C genes each produce one type of gamete (A and C, respectively), while the B gene produces two types of gametes (B and b), resulting in a total of two different gamete combinations.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
