An individual who is heterozygous for traits of flower colour and height would be

AaBb

A = allele 1
for flower colour
a = allele 2 for flower colour
B = allele 1 for height
b = allele 2 for height

An AaBb individual can produce the following allelic combinations in their gametes.

AB
Ab
aB
ab

There are 4 unique allele combinations that this individual can produce. Assuming these alleles are not sex linked and are located on autosomal chromosomes.
