The individual is heterozygous at each locus, meaning they have both dominant and recessive alleles for each gene. The genotype for this individual would be AaBbCcDd.

The linked genes are A-B on chromosome 1 and C-D on chromosome 2. This means that during meiosis, these genes will be inherited together unless a crossover event occurs.

If no crossover event occurs, the possible gametes that could be produced are AB/CD (from the dominant alleles) and ab/cd (from the recessive alleles).

Therefore, the gamete genotype that could NOT be produced without a crossover event is a mix of dominant and recessive alleles from each linked set, such as Ab/Cd or aB/cD. These combinations would require a crossover event to separate the linked dominant and recessive alleles.

Alleles A and B are linked on chromosome 1 (such that you have A-B and a-b). Alleles C and D are linked on chromosome 2 (you have C-D and c-d). If a crossover event does not occur between either set of genes, which gamete genotype could NOT be produced by an individual heterozygous at each locus?
