Ddee pea plants can produce two types of gametes, but a ddee plant can produce only one type of gamete.
A Ddee pea plant can produce the following gametes: De and de. A ddee plant can produce only a de gamete.
A gamete is an organism's reproductive cell and it is produced through a biological process called gametogenesis. This process involves the formation of a haploid generation. In this example, when a Ddee pea plant produces gametes, its pair of alleles will separate in two possible combinations: De and de. A ddee plant can only produce one combination: de.

two,
one.

Ddee plants can make the following types of gametes;
parent can make half dominant D type gametes and other half recessive d gametes. Since both e gametes are recessive, the gametes formed will be 100% e gametes.
therefore the combinations of gametes possible are De and de.
In ddee plants, both d and e are recessive therefore parents can make only gametes with recessive d and e alleles.
therefore gametes produced are of a single type, that is de only.
