Answer:

YyRR - YR, YR, yR, yR

YYRr - YR, Yr, YR, Yr

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, the following genotypes of organisms are given; YyRR and YYRr. In order for sexual reproduction to occur, these genotypes must undergo meiotic division to produce gametes. Based on the law of independent assortment, alleles of each gene separates into gametes irrespective of independently of one another.

The combination of alleles in each gamete occurs in such a way that only one allele of each gene is present in each gamete. Based on this, the following parental genotype have the following four (4) gametic combinations:

YyRR - YR, YR, yR, yR

YYRr - YR, Yr, YR, Yr
