Answer:

(2⁵)²: 1024 combinations

Explanation:

In this case, the chromosome haploid number (n) of the target species is equal to 10, and therefore its diploid number (2n) is equal to 5 (i.e., somatic cells in the target species contain 5 pairs of chromosomes). That means that one individual can produce 2⁵ or 32 different gametic combinations. Moreover, the number of possible combinations that emerge from paring different gametes (sexual reproduction) can be calculated as (32)² = 1024 combinations.
