reset next

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for independent assortment

The formula for the number of genetic possibilities from independent assortment of chromosomes in a gamete is \(2^{n}\), where \(n\) is the number of chromosome pairs.

Step2: Substitute the value of \(n\)

Here, \(n = 5\). So we calculate \(2^{5}\).

$$2^{5}=2\times2\times2\times2\times2 = 32$$

Answer:

32
