PLATO

Answer 2

The correct answer would be 32.

It can be calculated with the help of simple formula 2ⁿ

2ⁿ represents the possible number of combination of gametes produced by an organism.

n represents the haploid number of chromosome of an individual

Thus, the possible number of gametes produced by an organism with 5 chromosome pairs would be equal to 2⁵ = 2x2x2x2x2 = 32.
