The possible gamete combinations are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

Explicación

## Step 1The problem involves understanding the principles of genetics, specifically the concept of gamete formation in a parent with heterozygous traits. The parent in question is heterozygous for both traits, which is represented as (AaBb).## Step 2The parent can produce four types of gametes due to the law of independent assortment. This law states that allele pairs separate independently during the formation of gametes. ## Step 3The four possible gamete combinations are: AB, Ab, aB, and ab. These combinations are formed by randomly selecting one allele from each gene.## Step 4The options BB, aa, and bb are not valid gamete combinations because they do not represent a combination of alleles from both genes.## Step 5The options greener and Aa are not valid gamete combinations because they do not represent a combination of alleles from both genes.
