Question

A parent genotype with homozygous composition will produce how many types of gametes? a. Depends on the species of organisms involved b. Depends on number of loci c. 1 d. Depends on number of alleles involved
Options
A Depends on the species of organisms involved
B Depends on number of loci
C 1
Correct Answer
D Depends on number of alleles involved
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a single gene locus, a homozygous individual (e.g., AA or aa) can produce only one type of gamete with respect to that gene, because both alleles are the same. All gametes will carry that same allele.

Hint

They have only one kind to give.
