I believe it is gel electrophoresis. 
Gel electrophoresis is a techniwue used to separate DNA fragments or other macromolecules such as RNA and proteins based on their size and charge. It can also determine the actual size of a piece of DNA by examining it next to a standard "yardstick" made up of DNA fragments of known sizes.

Answer: Gel Electrophoresis.

Explanation: Gel Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique by which DNA fragments of different sizes can be sorted according to the molecular sizes.

The fragments of the different sizes of DNA move by the effect of the electrical field through a gel that contains small pores.

This gel contains a DNA ladder that has different base pairs indicated on it which is used to determine the size of the DNA fragments.

An individual heterozygous for each of five genes (AaBbCcDdEe) is crossed with another individual who has the same genotype. a.
natima [27]

Answer:

32 different gametes can be produced

Explanation:

The possibilities of formation of the number of different gametes in a population are determined by the number of heterozygous alleles for a given gene in the organism.

The formula to calculate the number of gametes is- 2ⁿ where n represents the number of heterozygous alleles

In the given question, the five genes of the organism are considered which form five type of heterozygous allele like A, a, B,b and so on. Therefore five types of heterozygous alleles is possible.

So using the formula we have 2⁵= 32 gametes.

Thus, 32 gametes is correct.

Classify the mutations as somatic or inherited
Sauron [17]

Mutations can be somatic or inherited. Somatic mutations are mutations that occur in a single body cell, so only tissues derived from mutated cell are affected. Somatic mutations are not inherited. On the other hand, inherited or germline mutations occur in gametes (egg cells and sperm cells) and are passed onto offspring. As a result of these kind of mutations each cell in the organism is affected.

Somatic mutations: BRAF and KRAS gene.

Inherited mutations: FRG2 and BRCA1 gene.
