(a) Describe the possible genotypes of the heart cells of an individual if meiosis in this individual results in two sperm cells carrying the f allele and two sperm cells carrying the

F allele.

The possible genotype is Ff

Explanation:

The possible genotype of the heart cells of such individual would be Ff.

Meiosis usually results in the formation of daughter cells with haploid number of chromosomes from parent cells with diploid number of chromosomes. The chromosomes in the parent cells are usually halved in the daughter cells.

The cells of the heart will have diploid number of chromosomes because they are vegetative cells while the sperm cells will usually have haploid number of chromosomes because they are sex cells.

Consequently, the heart cells of an individual will contain twice the chromosome number present in the sperm cells of such individual.

Hence, if meiosis results in the formation of sperm cells with F and f genotypes in an individual, it simply means that any diploid cell in that individual will have the Ff genotype.
