Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Taphonomists would probably conclude that hominins had scavenged meat from an animal carcass, they did not kill if fossil animal bones; did not contain stone cut marks, which are easily distinguishable from tooth marks. 
Some characteristics that have distinguished hominins from other primates, living and extinct are their erect posture, bipedal locomotion, larger brains, and behavioral characteristics such as specialized tool use, and in some cases communication through language.<span />
