Calculate the number of genotypes possible for a character controlled by 4 alleles

a
6
b
10
c
5
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is B

If a gene has 4 alleles, then this is an example of multiple allelism. To calculate the number of genotypes in multiple allelism we use the formula n2(n+1). In this case the genotypes will be 42(4+1)= 10.
