A particular plant has 10 pairs of chromosomes in each cell. Calculate the genetic possibilities from independent assortment of a single gamete from the plant. 200 512 1,024 1,048,576

Answer :

The answer to this question would be 1,024 possibilities.

The genetic possibilities depend on how much pairs of chromosome a particular organism has. The formula would be [tex] 2^{x} [/tex] where x is the number of pairs of chromosome. In this case, the plant has 10 pairs of chromosome so the calculation would be [tex] 2^{10} [/tex] = 1,024 possibilities.
