    32 different gametes can be produced

    Explanation:

    The possibilities of formation of the number of different gametes in a population are determined by the number of heterozygous alleles for a given gene in the organism.

    The formula to calculate the number of gametes is - 2ⁿ where n represents the number of heterozygous alleles

    In the given question, the five genes of the organism are considered which form five type of heterozygous allele like A, a, B, b and so on. Therefore five types of heterozygous alleles is possible.

    So using the formula we have 2⁵ = 32 gametes.

    Thus, 32 gametes is correct.
