Even in the absence of genetic recombination, meiosis is an
important source of genetic variation in sexually reproducing
organisms. Use as an example a species with 2n=8, and an individual
of that species that is a quadruple heterozygote for loci A, B, C,
and D, with each loci on a different chromosome. Determine how many
different types of gametes this individual can produce, and explain
how segregation and independent assortment mechanisms produce
genetic variation in the gametes produced by this...
