Answer:

8

Explanation:

The fly has only 3 pairs of somatic chromosomes, that means that only can combine 3 chromosomes. To calculate the combinations the exponential 2n it is used. In this case is 2 to the third power that is equal = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

This fly also has a fourth pair, but this one is the sexual one, so the main function of this gene is to give the sex to the offspring.

This is because they don't fit well in any existing classification currently.</span>
