Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Gamete Formation
Gamete formation involves the process of meiosis, where diploid cells divide to produce haploid gametes. Each gamete carries one allele from each gene, leading to genetic variation. The number of different gametes produced depends on the number of heterozygous gene pairs present in the organism.

Genotype Combinations
Genotype combinations refer to the different allele combinations that can arise from a given set of genes. For a cross involving multiple genes, the combinations can be calculated using the formula 2^n, where n is the number of heterozygous gene pairs. This helps in determining the diversity of gametes produced.

Gamete Genotypes
Dihybrid Cross
A dihybrid cross examines the inheritance of two different traits, represented by two gene pairs. In this case, the cross AaBbCC × AABbCc involves two traits with varying dominance. Understanding how these traits segregate independently during gamete formation is crucial for predicting the genotypes of the offspring.
