Answer:

Only 1 type of gamete can be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Three genes are present in this organism: x, y and z.
  • In the genotype given all three genes are in homozygous condition i.e. both the alleles of a gene are same.
  • In this case, the organism will produce only one type of gamete which will be xyz.
  • Hence only one type of gamete will be produced
  • Had the gene composition been heterozygous at some location, more than one type of genetically different gametes would have been produced.
