Answer:

Two different Gametes may be produced .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Mendel's dihybrid experiment showed that the F₁ double heterozygote always showed independent assortment of the two pairs of gene at the time of Gamete formation.
  • This was justified only if the genes were located on different chromosome.
  • But if the genes were located on the same chromosome , they were inherited together and are said to be linked genes.
  • In the question, The individual 's genotype is CcDD. This shows that the genes C and D are linked together.
  • So when gametes will be formed one allele of gene C and one allele of gene D will be sorted and placed together in a gamete.
  • Thus the two types of gamete formed will be CD or cD.
