Question

What are the possible eggs or sperms for an individual with the genotype AaBb

Answer 1

Ab

AB

ab

aB

(ignore this, its a spacer)

Answer 2

Different possibilities of eggs or sperms with genotype AaBb:

There are 4 different possibilities of eggs or sperms for an individual with genotype AaBb.

When genotype AaBb is crossed it leads to the following result:

• AB
• Ab
• aB
• ab

From the above result it could be inferred that there are 4 different possibilities of “eggs or sperms” for an individual with genotype AaBb. If we calculate it using through the formula $2^{n}$ where 2 represent the diploid genotypes and power n denotes the number of genes. Thus $2^{n} = 2^{2} = 4.$
