Question

if a female with genotype dd mates with a male of genotype dd, what are the possible genotypes of the haploid gametes they produce? select all that may apply.
check all that apply
the female can only produce d gametes.
the male can only produce d gametes.
the female can produce d and d gametes.
the female can only produce d gametes.
the male can produce d and d gametes.

Explanation:

• For the female with genotype \(Dd\), during gamete formation (meiosis), the alleles segregate. So, she can produce two types of gametes: \(D\) and \(d\).
• For the male with genotype \(dd\), since he has only one type of allele (\(d\)), he can only produce \(d\) gametes.

Answer:

• The male can only produce \(d\) gametes.
• The female can produce \(D\) and \(d\) gametes.
