Why does the gamete we are placing on

our punnett square have two different
letters?
Because we are crossing two traits,
therefore need two alleles.

Because it's a gamete, it will have half the
genetic information of the parent (1
allele) and because it's a dihybrid cross,
there is one allele for each trait.
