Answer:

A and a

Step-by-step explanation:

GAMETE formation occurs via a process called MEIOSIS. During meiosis, segregation and independent assortment of genes occur. According to Gregor Mendel who proposed the law, the law of segregation states that the alleles of a Gene will separate into gametes. This separation occurs in such a way that only one allele of that gene is found in each gamete.

In this case, an organism with genotype "Aa" will produce gametes that contains the following: A and a. Therefore, the gametes of genotype Aa will be A and a.
