A particular plant has 10 pairs of chromosomes in each cell. Since the chromosomes are in pairs, the plant is a diploid. The gametes of this plant will be haploid having half the number of chromosomes. Hence each gamete will have only 10 chromosomes present. To find the total genetic combinations possible through independent assortment, we'll start with an arbitrary chromosome, say, the chromosome 1. The chromosome 1 exists in pair in the plant cell. Hence through independent assortment, the chromosome 1 and its copy will segregate into the gametes. So a particular gamete will either receive the chromosome 1 or its copy. Hence for a chromosome to segregate, it has 2 options. Now there are 10 pairs of such chromosomes, hence, the total genetic combinations possible will be, $2\times2\times2\times........\times2$ (10 times) = $2^{10}$

Hence, the answer is $2^{10}$ .

Answer from: Quest

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
