A plant can have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. it can aleo have a long (A) or short () stem. A scientist is preparing a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype Ggkk What possible gametes can the plant produce?

The plant has the genotype Ggkk, where G represents the allele for green leaves, g for yellow leaves, k for a long stem, and k for a short stem. When determining possible gametes, you consider the alleles independently.
For the Ggkk genotype:
Gametes for leaf color (Gg): G, g
Gametes for stem length (kk): k
So, the possible gametes for the plant with genotype Ggkk are: Gk and gk.
