    No problem it's absolutely fine. These types of confusions show that you are immersed in the subject so that's a very good sign. It tends to happen with time as you give more time to study.

    Gametes are in even in Number except for Monohybrid Homozygous. So I think it Will give more clarity.

    thank you sir it's clear now

  • Abhijeet Gaurav

    You seem to have got bit diverted. See for both AA it is same the set so it will be A. Now here A is Homozygous so 2^0 = 1 . But in the case of AABbCc it is trihybrid so here variations in the Gametes would be ABC, ABc, AbC,Abc only. Thus 4 gametes & for both AA we take them in together with others such as Bb & Cc not separately that's why it's Just 4 not 5.

    i was my bad 😅sorry and thank you for clearing my doubt

  • Abhijeet Gaurav

    We consider only for Heterozygotes because they are the one with variations in the DNA. Whereas the Homozygous ones are the similar set of gene in them. As from the example AABB we can take that only one gamete Will be formed - AB. Even if try & Form other gametes for this then it would be all same so we consider only one gamete for them & Heterozygotes have variations.

    so in the case of AABbCc don't we have to count the number of gametes as 2^2=4, and 1 more from AA? so total number will be 5 or 4, because as per equation we end up with 4 gametes

    Yes you are right. By mistake I wrote 256 instead of 32. Thanks for pointing out. I did correction for it now.

    sir in the equation of finding number of gametes why do we consider only the heterozygotes(n) not the homozygotes?

  • Abhijeet Gaurav best-answer

    Answer of the both are solved below. The Number of gametes for the Parent 1 would be -8 Parent 2 would be -32

    sorry sir but didn't understand how we end up with 256 in parent 2 it shouldn't be 32?
