Solution

The correct answer is PT, Pt, pT, and pt.

This is because a plant that is heterozygous for both traits has the genotype PpTt. During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene separate independently. This is known as Mendel's law of independent assortment. Therefore, the possible combinations of alleles in the gametes are PT, Pt, pT, and pt.
