Therefore, since humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 homologous pairs, what is the number of possible
gametes that can be formed due to independent assortment of chromosomes?

The count of gametes formed will be 8388608

Explanation:

This theory is based on law of independent assortments, which was given by McGregor Mendel during his study. As given, in humans, diploid cell contains 46 chromosomes, 23 inherited from mother and 23 from father.

In other words, in human body will be having 23 homologous pair of chromosomes. Therefore the number of gametes thus formed due to independent assortment is given by ()

where n being the number of chromosomes.

finally,the possible outcome is () = 8388608

for 8 am not sure maybe yes?

for 9 if it is asking if the male is more or less it would be less

hope i even just a little : )
