Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A YyRr plant produces 4 types of gametes due to independent assortment: YR, Yr, yR, yr. Option A is incorrect because gametes are haploid (one allele per gene). Option B lists only 2 gametes, missing the recombinant types. This demonstrates Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.
