problem

A hypothetical organism's cell has n sets of chromosomes. In the F₀ generation of one population of this organism, all individuals have genotype aAAAA... (only one 'a' allele). The organism self-crosses in the F₀ generation, and in all subsequent generations, it crosses with the immediate previous generation. If the minimum generation in which a genotype with no 'A' allele (i.e. aaa...) can appear is 8, what is the minimum value of n?
