Professor Oak is starting a new breeding program and has asked you as a geneticist to determine how many unique Pikachu are possible from one mating pair. You know that there are a total of 40 chromosomes in a somatic Pikachu cell, and that they are diploid organisms (one maternal, one paternal, just like humans). [A] How many possible unique gametes could come from a single Pikachu? If these two pikachu mate, how many unique combinations of chromosomes could their baby pichu have? (Answer in scientific notation to the nearest decimal place: i.e, 1.7x10^8)
