Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the genotype of the individual, which is 'aabb'. This means the individual is homozygous recessive for both genes.
Understand that gametes are haploid cells, meaning they contain only one allele from each gene pair.
Since the individual is homozygous for both genes, the only alleles present are 'a' and 'b'.
Determine the possible combinations of alleles in the gametes. In this case, the only combination possible is 'ab'.
Conclude that the individual can only produce one type of gamete, which is 'ab'.
