Answer: Eight (8) different kinds of gametes can be produced by an individual with the genotype AaBBCcddEe.

Explanation: The total number of gamete that can formed from a given genotype is given as 2^n, where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

For genotype AaBBCcddEe, the number of heterozygous loci is 3 (Aa Cc and Ee).

Therefore, 2^n = 2³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
