What are all of the possible allele combinations that could occur in a gamete produced by an individual who is heterozygous for the traits of flower color and height?

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.
