Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the genotype of the individual: AABbCcDD.
Determine the number of heterozygous gene pairs, as these will contribute to the variety of gametes. In this genotype, B and C are heterozygous (Bb and Cc).
Use the formula for calculating the number of different gametes: \(2^n\), where \(n\) is the number of heterozygous pairs.
Substitute the number of heterozygous pairs into the formula: \(2^2\), since there are two heterozygous pairs (Bb and Cc).
Calculate the result of \(2^2\) to determine the number of different kinds of gametes the individual can produce.
