Understanding Gametes
* Gametes: These are reproductive cells (sperm or egg) that carry one copy of each chromosome from a parent.
* Genotype: The genetic makeup of an individual (e.g., Aabb).
* Alleles: Different forms of a gene (e.g., A and a).
Possible Gametes for Aabb
1. Separate the alleles: The genotype Aabb has two pairs of alleles: Aa and bb.
2. Combine one allele from each pair:
* From the Aa pair, you can get either an A or an a allele.
* From the bb pair, you can only get a b allele.
3. Possible combinations: This gives us the following possible gametes:
* Ab
* ab
Therefore, the possible gametes for an individual with genotype Aabb are Ab and ab.
