    The combinations of gametes that could be produced from heterozygous individuals for both traits are PT, Pt, pT and pt.

    Explanation:

    An individual is heterozygous for two traits, flower color and stem height, with a PpTt (dihybrid) genotype and a phenotype showing the dominant traits, purple flowers and tall stem.

    The genes of this individual for the above-mentioned traits contain different alleles, and taking into account the independent segregation of characters, the alleles present in its gametes could be:

    Both dominant alleles: PT One dominant and one recessive allele Pt or pT Both recessive alleles: pt

    Therefore, the traits of its offspring will depend on the alleles for those traits present in the gamete to which they are combined.
