  1. The possibilities of the gametes produced by an induvidual with the genotype RrTt are:

    RT, Rt, rT and rt.


  2. I'm assuming you mean 2 individuals with the same gametes. If you just want the possible gametes, then that would produce the most potential options. And I'm not considering cloning/self-fertilization as part of a trick question.

    All possible seperate gametes of RrTt/RrTt; RT, Rt, rT, rt

    Mendel's Box:

    ....|RT....| Rt...| rT...|rt

    RT|RRTT|RRTt|RrTT|RrTt

    Rt.|RRTt.|RRtt.|RrTt|Rrtt

    rT..|RrTT.|RrTt.|rrTT.|rrTt

    rt..|RrTt...|Rrtt..|rrTt.|rrtt

    Thus the 9 possible gametes and chance for the individual:

    RRTT:1/16; 6.25%........RRTt:2/16; 12.5%

    RRtt:1/16; 6.25%.........RrTT:2/16; 12.5%

    rrTT:1/16; 6.25%..........Rrtt:2/16; 12.5%

    rrtt:1/16; 6.25%............rrTt:2/16; 12.5%

    RrTt:4/16; 25%
