Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

For a species with four pairs of chromosomes, 16 gametic combinations are possible.

This is calculated by using the formula 2n

A normal human has two pairs of chromosome which calculated by 2*2=4 to give the possible gametic combinations. However in the case of 4 pairs of chromosomes it is calculated by 2*2*2*2= 16 possible genetic combinations.
