Franklin Johnston · Answer 1

The correct is answer is option D

Different possible alignments of chromosomes

In totality there are 5 traits with two allele each

Aa, Bb, CC, Dd, EE

The gametes formed will have allele from each gene and thus in totality each gamete will have 5 allele.

Thus different gamete can be produced such as ABCDE, ABcDe, AbCDE, AbcDe and many more.
