Final answer:

If A and B are unlinked, the genotype of the heterozygote is represented as A/B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If A and B are unlinked, the genotype of the heterozygote is represented by the separate alleles for each gene.

In this case, if A represents one allele and B represents another allele, the genotype of the heterozygote would be represented as A/B.

This indicates that the two genes are independent and located on different chromosomes.
