During the process of Meiosis an individual's alleles for each trait are independently sorted to make unique gametes.   A person is heterozygous for the Freckles phenotype (Ff) and also heterozygous for the PTC-tasting phenotype (Tt).   This person's genotype for these two traits is represented as FfTt.   A) How many unique gametes could be produced by this individual if you consider these two traits?   B) List the different allele combinations that could result.
